A device for delivering a plug (1) in a vessel of a human or animal body, includes an inserter provided with a guiding channel (4) and elements for urging the plug into the channel (4), characterized in that the channel (4) is adapted for radially compressing the plug during the displacement thereof towards the distal end of the channel (4). The compression of the plug (1) is carried out only a few seconds before its placement while respecting the integrity thereof. The elasticity characteristics of the plug (1) are thus fully preserved. The present device can be used in open surgery or endoscopy, mainly in vascular surgery.
Device for delivering a plug (1) in a vessel (2) in a human or animal body, including an inserter (3) fitted with a guiding channel (4) and a means for pushing the plug (1) into the channel (4) characterised in that said channel (4) is configured to compress radially the plug (1) during the displacement thereof towards the distal end of the channel (4) and that the means for pushing the plug (1) consists of two imbricated rods (9), one of which slides in the other.
