ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for implanting a medical prosthesis in a duct of a human or animal body.
Thin device comprises a tubular sheath, suitable for containing a prosthesis to be implanted, and a rod for controlling the prosthesis, which rod may slide in the interior of the sheath. The sheath and/or the rod is(are) provided on at least one part of its (their) length with flexible centring means suitable for acting on the profile of the axial line of the sheath, while restricting its distal end to align itself substantially with the axis of the duct when the sheath is disposed therein.
The application of the invention is most particularly in the field of blood filters which can be implanted in a blood vessel.
