Abstract
The disclosure relates to a surgical device comprising a rod having a deformable sleeve at its distal end surrounding the rod, the control element being longitudinally movable for moving the proximal end of the sleeve between a rest position, in which the deformable sleeve has a tubular shape, and an active position, in which the sleeve is deformed by bringing together its distal and proximal ends. The rod is made up of an internal hollow tubular element surrounded by a sheath that can move in translation and rotation relative to the internal hollow tubular element. The distal end of the sleeve is fixed onto a peripheral strip of the internal hollow tubular element and the proximal end of the sleeve is fixed onto a peripheral strip of the sheath.
