The invention relates to an accessory for implanting a medical device in a human or animal body, said medical device comprising an occlusion collar () adapted to surround and to seal an anatomical duct of said human or animal body, a fluid reservoir () and a tube () connecting the reservoir to the occlusion collar, said accessory comprising: —a plug (') adapted to seal an end of the tube; and —a collar () adapted to surround the tube, the plug () and the collar () having respective connection portions () adapted to engage so as to fix the collar () and the plug () together so as to hermetically seal said end of the tube ().

Accessory for implanting a medical device configured to plug an anatomical duct

The invention relates to an assembly formed by a medical device () adapted to be implanted in a human or animal body and by packaging, wherein: —the medical device comprises a housing () that encloses a fluid reservoir () and a fluid outlet () forming a fluid connection between the reservoir and a volume outside the housing; —the packaging includes a tank () comprising a bottom (), a side wall (), an upper face opposite the bottom in a vertical direction, and an opening configured to fill the tank with a biocompatible fluid, the bottom () of the tank extending in a horizontal plane perpendicularly to the vertical direction; —at least one of the bottom, the side wall and the top face comprises a first holding element () adapted to hold the housing in the tank, the housing () being held in the tank () by said first holding element () such that the reservoir is located between the bottom of the tank and the fluid outlet, said fluid outlet being arranged below the opening such that the fluid outlet is immersed in the fluid when the tank is filled with the biocompatible fluid.

Assembly comprising a medical device adapted to be implanted and packaging for said device

A device to prevent urinary leakage intended to be implanted in a patient includes a compressor to compress the patient's urethra, an electronic controller to actuate the compressor, and a measurer to measure the patient's activity. The measurer is coupled with the controller and the controller functions according to a predictive model of urinary leakage based on patient activity, so as to anticipate a possible urinary leak in relation to the measured activity of the patient.

Device to prevent urinary leakage

The invention relates to a detection system of an endo-urethral device for an artificial urinary sphincter implantable in the body of a patient, said sphincter comprising an occlusive cuff () adapted to compress the urethra, the bladder neck or the prostate of said patient, an activation device () of said cuff () and a control unit () adapted to control the activation device. Said system comprises at least one compression sensor () of the urethra and a posture sensor (), and a processing unit () configured to determine: If the conditions (i) and (ii) are fulfilled, the processing unit sends to the activation device () an immediate reduction order of the compression exerted by the cuff ().

System and method for detecting an endo-urethral device for an artificial sphincter that is implantable in an animal or human body

The invention relates to an assistive device for positioning a medical instrument () inserted into a natural duct () or an artificial duct of a patient relative to an internal organ (P) of a patient, wherein the device comprises a support () that is to be inserted at least in part into the body of the patient and supports the medical instrument, means for moving the support, wherein said movement means comprise an articulated arm () that includes a plurality of degrees of freedom for moving a proximal end () of the support, means for acquiring images of the internal organ for positioning the medical instrument relative to the internal organ, wherein the image acquisition means comprise a probe () supported by the support such that the medical instrument and the probe are rigidly connected, and a control unit () for controlling the movement means, which is connected to the image acquisition means and comprises image analyzing means () for generating control commands for the articulated arm in order to control at least one movement of the medical instrument relative to the internal organ. The invention further relates to a method for controlling such a device.

A spacer including a first part made from a first shape memory material, and a second part made from a second shape memory material.

Stent spacer

A device for guiding a medical instrument () inserted into a natural duct () or an artificial duct of a patient in order to bring at least a distal end () of the instrument in proximity to an internal organ (). The device includes an articulated arm () with a plurality of degrees of freedom, for moving a proximal end () of the instrument, and a controlled blocking mechanism () for blocking the degrees of freedom of the articulated arm. The blocking mechanism is designed in such a way that, for at least one of the degrees of freedom, a blockage imposed on the degree of freedom can be released when an outer stress exerted on the instrument () exceeds a predetermined threshold.

The invention concerns an analysis method for a surgical operation via endoscopy performed at an operative site in a volume located inside the body of an animal, characterized in that it comprises the steps consisting of:

System and method for analysing a surgical operation by endoscopy

The invention relates to a device () for changing the pH of a solvent in which a substance is dissolved. The device includes a housing () in contact with the solvent through a housing wall () that is permissive to the solvent and the substance. The housing contains enzymes adapted for converting the substance in order to provide hydrogen or hydroxyle ions; the housing wall being non-permissive to the enzymes.

Method and device for changing the pH of a solution

The invention concerns an imaging system to monitor at least one surgical instrument in an operative site inside a volume of the body of an animal, comprising: at least one endoscopic camera to obtain endoscopic data on the operative site, at least one ultrasound imaging device to obtain ultrasound data on the operative site, and a processing device to process the endoscopic and ultrasound data. The imaging system further comprising at least three markers intended to be positioned in the operative site, said markers being mobile relative to the instrument, each marker being adapted to be detected both by the endoscopic camera and by the ultrasound imaging device, so as to permit cross-mapping of the endoscopic and ultrasound data by the processing means.

Imaging system for following a surgical tool in an operation field

The present disclosure relates to a prostatic imaging system including steps of recording and processing images acquired by the ultrasonographic head of a rectal probe equipped with an active puncture guide, characterized in that it includes steps of processing at least a part of the images acquired by the probe for calculating transformations to a 'reference image' repository relative to the initial position of the prostate, at least a part of the images acquired during the successive punctures including the location of the various positions of the needle being recorded with a view to visualising representations thereof on a single image including at least a part of the prostate. The present disclosure also relates to a system for the prostatic imaging implementing said prostatic imaging method.
