CA 2383288

A method and a kit is provided of forming a cervical cap in situ, i.e. within a patient's body, which cap will substantially completely conform to the shape of the patient's cervix, allowing the cap to be left in place over an extended period of time. The method of the invention includes the steps of positioning a snugly fitting rim member (10) around the patient's exocervix (38), mounting a shell member (126), having an aperture, onto the rim member such that the rim member (10), shell member (126) and exocervix (38) define a cavity, and injecting a curable material (142) through the aperture to substantially fill the cavity. After the curable material (142) is allowed to harden, the entire assembly is removed from the patient and the shell (126) removed from the cured material (142).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un nécessaire pour produire une cape cervicale in situ, c'est-à-dire à l'intérieur du corps de la patiente, s'adaptant pratiquement complètement à la forme du col de l'utérus de la patiente, ce qui permet de laisser la cape en place sur une durée prolongée. Le procédé selon l'invention comprend les étapes suivantes : mise en place d'un élément bordure (10) s'ajustant exactement autour de l'exocol (38) de la patiente, montage d'un élément coque (126) présentant une ouverture sur l'élément bordure (10) de sorte que l'élément bordure (10), l'élément coque (126) et l'exocol (38) définissent une cavité, puis injection d'une matière durcissante (142) par l'ouverture afin de remplir pratiquement la cavité. Lorsque la matière durcissante (142) a durci, on retire l'assemblage dans sa totalité du corps de la patiente et on retire la coque (126) de la matière durcie (142).
