The invention relates to a placement system for putting into place means that form reinforcement for a suture. The system comprises reinforcement-forming means for reinforcing a zone that is to be sutured, said means comprising a first reinforcement portion and a second reinforcement portion, a catching portion interconnecting said first and second portions of the reinforcement-forming means and serving to take hold of the zone for suturing, and jaw-passing means for passing two jaws of a suture clamp, such that said first portion of the reinforcement-forming means is suitable for facing one of the two jaws and said second portion of the reinforcement-forming means is suitable for facing the other one of the two jaws, said placement system further comprising grip means.

The present disclosure relates to a surgical fastener for attaching a prosthesis intended to repair a hernial defect of the abdominal wall, the prosthesis has at least two layers made of a biocompatible flexible material joined together at least one assembly zone, so as to define an internal space delimited by a substantially circular peripheral contour. The internal space is accessible to said surgical fastener that includes at least one body forming a reinforcing section that includes an open ring intended to extend substantially along at least one part of the substantially circular substantially circular peripheral contour. The open ring is connected to an attachment arm that extends substantially radially towards the inside and is intended to be anchored in the abdominal wall.

Surgical fastener for attaching a hernia prosthesis

A fastener including at least an element to be anchored in an anatomical support, at least a stop element relative to a planar prosthetic component to be fixed, and a linking rod is characterised in that the linking rod is rectilinear and the junction zones of the anchoring element and the stop element with the linking rod enable the fastener to adopt: a non-stressed stripping configuration; a maximum stress configuration, doubled up on itself, for example in a tubular configuration by complete insertion of the fastener into a tube, and a minimum stress configuration, wherein the respective directions of the stop element and the anchoring element form between them, for example in the same plane, an angle not greater than 90&#xb0;.

Fastener for fixing a prosthesis, and device for delivering this fastener

A device for ligating an oblong anatomical structure having a ligature element. A proximal portion of the ligature element may have a keeper and the distal portion may have a barb which is slidably received in the keeper. The device may further include an applicator for putting the ligature element in place, a rectilinear metal rod which extends in the tube and which, at its distal end has a spring blade, and a sheath having a radial outer duct in which the spring blade is received, and a radial inner guide groove in which the ligature element is received.

The present invention relates to a self-expanding endoprosthesis intended to support walls of anatomical channels. The endoprosthesis according to the invention comprises 2n external longitudinal elements, and 2n other intermediate longitudinal elements, distributed in a parallel arrangement about the axis of the endoprosthesis, and offset with respect to one another along the axis, and a plurality of rings distributed about the axis of the endoprosthesis, joining the longitudinal elements and each being in the form of a filament of zigzag configuration. According to the invention, the folded-down configuration of the endoprosthesis is obtained by longitudinal traction of the external elements with respect to the intermediate elements.

Self-expanding endoprosthesis

A prosthetic element for the treatment of an inguinal hernia by celloscopy is disclosed, comprising an elongate and flexible binding member, and three leaves which are linked to one another by the binding member, each leaf extending away from the binding member, the leaves being made of a biocompatable material which is sufficiently lacunar or porous to support in vivo a tissue implantation or growth, and sufficiently flexible to be folded back on itself and unfolded, one of the leaves having a cutting therethrough culminating in a hole, the leaf being adapted to tightly enclose the spermatic cord after its passage through the hole.

Prosthetic element for the treatment of inguinal hernias, in particular

A vascular endoprosthesis intended to maintain the walls of anatomic channels. The endoprosthesis is formed by a combination of longitudinal juxtaposed unitary assemblies (1) having flexible, elastic longitudinal ribs (3, 4, 5) connected to each other by transverse strands (2) which are also flexible and elastic and are fastened on an intermediate rib (3) in such a manner as to form 'V's' with the intermediate rib (3). The combination forms a herringbone structure, the assembly of which by juxtaposition with other such assemblies forms an openwork cylinder (53).
