Abstract
The invention relates to a system for treating an epistaxis, comprising: a compressible body designed to come into contact with walls of a nasal cavity of a patient, or surrounded by a veil of hemostatic properties; an envelope designed to envelop the compressible body; and a compression device for compressing the compressible body in the envelope, said compression device being designed so as to compress or release the compressible body.
Claims18
A system for treating an epistaxis, comprising:
- a compressible member having a compressed configuration, in which the compressible member is compressed and is configured to be introduced into a nasal cavity of a patient, and an expanded configuration, in which the compressible member is deployed and is configured to come into contact with walls of the nasal cavity of the patient, wherein the compressible member comprises a shape-memory material such that the compressible member passively expands to the expanded configuration;
- and
- an envelope configured to hermetically envelop the compressible member so as to form a sealed enclosure,
- a hollow compression device for compressing the compressible member and the envelope to bring the compressible member into the compressed configuration.

A system for treating an epistaxis, comprising:
- a compressible member having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the compressible member has a compressed configuration, in which the compressible member is compressed and is configured to be introduced into a nasal cavity of a patient, and an expanded configuration, in which the compressible member is deployed and is configured to come into contact with walls of the nasal cavity of the patient,
- an envelope configured to hermetically envelop the compressible member so as to form a sealed enclosure,
- a hollow compression device configured to reduce a pressure in the compressible member and the envelope and bring the compressible member into the compressed configuration,
- a tube housed in a central recess of the compressible member that extends between the proximal end and the distal end of the compressible member, and
- a lock comprising a first attachment member, attached to a proximal end of the tube and a second complementary attachment member attached to the compression device such that the compression device is attached in proximity to the proximal end of the compressible member.
