  • Patent number: 10058423
    Abstract: A device for placing a seal around an implant in a blood vessel, and associated treatment kit are provided. This device (24) includes a hollow sheath (60) having a longitudinal axis (Y-Y?), and at least one release member (62), which may be deployed with respect to the sheath (60) between a retracted position in the sheath (60) and an extracted position out of the sheath (60). The device (24) includes, for said or each release member (62), a seal body (64) having an angular extent strictly less than 360° around the longitudinal axis (Y-Y?), the seal body (64) being releasably attached onto the release member (62) so as to be released from the release member (62).

  • Patent number: 9883959
    Abstract: A device (10) for treating a blood circulation conduit is provided. The device (10) includes an implant (20) intended to be placed in the conduit (3). The implant includes a tubular endoprosthesis (22) and an insertion member (24). The device (10) includes a tool (26) for deploying the implant (20), able to occupy a configuration for introducing the implant (20) into the conduit. It includes an actuation member (28) of the insertion member (24), able to be actuated from a proximal end (85A) of the deploying tool (26) in order to have the insertion member (24) pass from an inactive position to an active position. The insertion member (24) is freely movable with respect to the endoprosthesis (22) between its inactive position and its active position.

  • Patent number: 9763785
    Abstract: A device (24) for placing a seal around an implant in a blood circulation passage is provided. The device includes a hollow sheath having a longitudinal axis, and at least one releaser, deployable relative to the sheath is provided. The device (24) includes, for the or each releaser, a sealing body (64) releasably fastened on that releaser, the sealing body (64) having an angular span smaller than 360° around the longitudinal axis, and a filiform link (67) connecting at least one releaser to another releaser and/or to the controller (68) positioned in the sheath, the filiform link (67) being deformable between a relaxed idle configuration and a stretched configuration limiting the radial movement of the sealing bodies (64).

  • Publication number: 20160015543
    Abstract: The device includes: a tubular endoprosthesis with a central axis, and a release system including a capsule defining an inner volume receiving the tubular endoprosthesis in its contracted condition. The capsule is displaceable with respect to the tubular endoprosthesis along the central axis between a position for covering the tubular endoprosthesis and a position for releasing the tubular endoprosthesis. The device includes a mechanism for opening the capsule able to be maneuvered in the covering position in order to have the capsule pass from a closed configuration for retaining the tubular endoprosthesis to an open configuration radially expansed for releasing the tubular endoprosthesis. The tubular endoprosthesis is able to be kept at least partly retracted in the inner volume upon passing of the capsule from its closed configuration to its open configuration.

  • Patent number: 8623072
    Abstract: A tubular prosthesis is radially deformable and includes a lattice that is deformable between a retracted state of small diameter and an expanded state of larger diameter. The prosthesis includes at least two outer hooks delimiting between them a clamp for engaging in an outer tissue. The two hooks are carried by the lattice and can be moved between a spaced-apart position in which the clamp is open and a closer-together position in which the clamp is closed. The prosthesis includes a guiding member for moving at least one of the hooks during deformation of the prosthesis. The guiding member delimits a guide passage in which at least one of the hooks is engaged.

  • Patent number: 8512396
    Abstract: This device (10) includes an implant (20) which has a tubular endoprosthesis (30) with a radially deployable framework (36). The implant (20) includes a flexible interposition member (24) mounted movably on the endoprosthesis (30) so as to be interposed between the outer surface (40) and a blood circulation conduit (14). The device (10) includes a deployment tool (26) which can adopt a configuration for insertion of the implant (20) and a configuration for release of the implant (20). In the configuration for insertion of the implant (20), the flexible member (24) includes at least one free part (68) held axially away from the outer surface (40) in order to minimize the radial dimension of the implant (20). The free part (68) is at least partly displaceable against the outer surface (40) when the tool (26) moves from its configuration for insertion to its configuration for release.

  • Patent number: 8353955
    Abstract: Prosthetic implant of the type comprising: a tubular support (12) of axis X, which can be deformed between a compressed state with a small diameter and a dilated state with a larger diameter, the tubular support comprising a lattice comprising rhombus-shaped meshes (26), each mesh having a first diagonal (28) parallel to the axis X and a second diagonal (32) perpendicular to the axis X; and at least one resilient membrane (14A, 14B) arranged inside the tubular support. The membrane comprises a fixing portion (48, 52), the fixing portion being fixed to a fixing section (65, 66) delimited by a strand (20A, 20B) of the tubular support, the fixing section being oriented substantially parallel to the axis X.

  • Publication number: 20110130821
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for processing a blood circulation conduit comprising: at least one endoprosthesis deployable between a retracted state and a dilated state; a stent for mounting the endoprosthesis, the stent including a body extending longitudinally between a proximal end region and a distal end region, the stent being fitted for the insertion, positioning, and deployment of the endoprosthesis in the blood circulation conduit, the stent including a releasable means for retaining the endoprosthesis on the stent. The distal end region of the body of the stent is capable of changing the shape thereof between a substantially straight configuration and an inwardly curved configuration, and the device comprises a controlling means for changing the shape of said distal end region between the straight configuration thereof and the inwardly curved configuration thereof.
