Abstract
Disclosed is an implant intended to be introduced into a human or animal body cavity, and includes two walls intended to grip between them a biological protuberance present in the cavity in order to attach the implant to the biological protuberance. Each wall includes a structural element having corrugations such that the structural element is folded up on itself several times, enabling the wall to be folded up before the introduction of the implant, then deployed inside the cavity.
Claims20
An implant (10;
- 70) for medical use intended to be introduced into a cavity (34) of a human or animal body, the implant comprising:
- at least one clip comprising two parallel planar walls (18, 20),
- wherein respective planes of the two parallel planar walls extend substantially facing each other so that the two parallel planar walls are configured to grip therebetween a biological protuberance (38) present in the cavity (34) in order to attach the implant (10) to the biological protuberance (38),
- wherein each of the two parallel planar walls (18, 20) includes a structure element (28, 30;
- 76, 78;
- 84, 86) having longitudinal undulations so that the structure element (28, 30;
- 76, 78;
- 84, 86) is folded up more than one time on itself, allowing each of the two parallel planar walls (18, 20) to be folded up before the introduction of the implant (10;
- 70), then deployed inside the cavity (34).
