  • Publication number: 20150025307
    Abstract: This invention concerns a device for gynaecological transfer or insemination with shape memory comprising a catheter comprising a polymer tube open at its ends, characterised in that this tube is comprised of a medium-density polymer associated with mineral filler. Such a device presents an adaptable diameter and a structure not enlarged by the presence of a metallic mesh without imposing fastidious handling such as can be the case of a flexible introducer catheter associated with a metallic rod for positioning.

  • Publication number: 20090187068
    Abstract: A device whose main part is a catheter or probe which is advantageously made up by an echogenic tube on its whole length, and which is proportionally transparent. The structure is made up by a material chosen from among the group comprising amorphous thermoplastic polymer matrices incorporating a braid, strand or strip with a non metal echogenic material which is biocompatible and chosen from among filled or un-filled semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymers.

  • Publication number: 20050215849
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an echogenic and/or radio-opaque device adapted to permit carrying out removals from the genital organs for analysis, or adapted to promote the transfer of products, particularly gametes or embryos, into the female genital organs, or again adapted to carry out tests for the introduction of catheters into the uterus and to analyze the morphology of the neck of the uterus and of the uterine cavity, the device being characterized in that the device contains an echogenic and/or radio-opaque material permitting visualizing by medical imagery, particularly by echography or radiography, the position of the usable orifice or of the distal portion of the device.

  • Patent number: 5417926
    Abstract: A device for the support and protection (1) of a tubular element (2) of very small diameter, particularly of the type of a micropipette, comprising a portion of constant nominal diameter and a drawn out end (3) . The device is a monobloc member, of a material having elasticity, such as a resilient plastic, comprising an elongated body (4) whose dimension in its longitudinal direction is at least equal to the length of the tubular element (2) to be supported and whose transverse cross section has the shape of an inverted U with a base (5) prolonged by two legs (6, 7) , the base f the U comprising on its flat external surface, at least two recesses (9, 10) opening outwardly, disposed in prolongation of each other and being separated by a distance less than the length of the tubular element, so as to receive this latter and to retain it in two spaced regions. Each of these recesses is delimited by two parallel edges (11, 2) extending from the base of the U.
