CA 2374314

An implant having a tube for permitting fluid flow has an outer flange at the outlet end and a retention projection near the inlet end. The retention projection acts as a hook engaging the inside surface of the tissue, causing the implant to stay implanted in the tissue. An implant may also be provided with a methanism for temporary occlusion, in whole or in part, of the flow passage. Thus, the tube passage may be filled, partially or wholly, with absorbable material and/or a plurality of withdrawable or advanceable flow controlling strands.

L'invention concerne un implant comprenant un tube permettant l'écoulement de fluide, un rebord extérieur à son extremité de sortie, et un élément saillant de rétention près de son extrémité d'entrée. L'élément saillant de rétention sert de crochet pénétrant la surface interne du tissu, permettant à l'implant de rester implanté dans le tissu. Un implant peut également être pourvu d'un mécanisme d'occlusion temporaire de toute ou d'une partie du passage du flux. Ainsi le passage du tube peut être rempli, partiellement ou totalement, de matière absorbable et/ou de plusieurs fils de commande de flux pouvant être retirés ou avancés.
