Apparatus is provided, including a tube (421) shaped to define a tube lumen at least one implant (100) reversibly coupled to the tube (421), and configured for implantation within a body of a patient. The apparatus also comprises two or more longitudinal guide members (470) disposed at least in part along a distal portion of the tube (421), the longitudinal guide members (470) having distal portions thereof configured to be reversibly coupled to the implant (100), and arranged such that application of a force to a first one of the longitudinal guide members (470) steers the distal portion of the tube (421) toward a first location along the implant (100), and application of a force to a second one of the longitudinal guide members (470) steers the distal por-tion of the tube (421) toward a second location along the implant (100). Other embodiments are also described.
La présente invention concerne un appareil incluant un tube (421) formé de manière à définir une lumière de tube, et au moins un implant (100) raccordé de manière réversible au tube (421) et configuré pour être implanté dans le corps dun patient. Ledit appareil comprend également deux éléments de guide longitudinaux (470) ou davantage disposés au moins en partie le long dune partie distale du tube (421). Les éléments de guide longitudinaux (470) présentent des parties distales configurées pour être raccordées de manière réversible à limplant (100). Ils sont disposés de telle manière que lapplication dune force sur le premier des éléments de guide longitudinaux (470) oriente la partie distale du tube (421) en direction dun premier emplacement le long de limplant (100), et lapplication dune force sur le second des éléments de guide longitudinaux (470) oriente la partie distale du tube (421) en direction dun second emplacement le long de limplant (100). Linvention porte également sur dautres modes de réalisation.
