Abstract: A device for holding and releasing an object (2), such as a medical implant, is proposed. The device comprises two hook systems (11, 12) to which said object (2) is able to be coupled so as to allow said hook systems (11, 12) to jointly hold said object (2). Said hook systems (11, 12) are configured such that, in the state in which said object (2) is coupled to said hook systems (11, 12), at least one of the hook systems (11, 12) is subjected to a return force (F11, F12) that makes it possible to keep the object (2) coupled to said hook systems (11, 12). Also proposed are a corresponding assembly and a corresponding releasing method.
