Device for placing a seal around an implant in a blood circulation passage, and associated treatment kit
First Claim
1. 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, the or each sealing body and the or each filiform link being movable in the blood circulation passage independently from the implant.

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).
