Abstract
A device (24) for placing a seal around an implant in a blood circulation passage is provided. The device includes a hollow sheath having a longitudinal axis, and at least one releaser, deployable relative to the sheath is provided. The device (24) includes, for the or each releaser, a sealing body (64) releasably fastened on that releaser, the sealing body (64) having an angular span smaller than 360° around the longitudinal axis, and a filiform link (67) connecting at least one releaser to another releaser and/or to the controller (68) positioned in the sheath, the filiform link (67) being deformable between a relaxed idle configuration and a stretched configuration limiting the radial movement of the sealing bodies (64).
Claims16
A device for placing a seal around an implant in a blood circulation passage comprising:
- a hollow sheath having a longitudinal axis;
- one or more releasers deployable relative to the sheath between a position retracted in the sheath and a position deployed outside the sheath;
- for the or each releaser, a sealing body releasably fastened on the corresponding releaser to be released from the releaser, the sealing body having an angular span strictly smaller than 360° around a longitudinal axis;
- and
- at least one filiform link connecting at least one of the releasers to another releaser and/or to a controller positioned in the hollow sheath, the filiform link being deformable between a relaxed idle configuration and a stretched configuration limiting the radial movement away from the longitudinal axis of the sealing bodies.
