CA 2609706

An implantable graft, which may be inserted into a fistula tract to occlude the primary opening of the fistula, is provided. To prevent unintentional displacement of the graft or extrusion of the graft from the fistula of a patient, the graft may be provided with a cap that extends laterally from at least one end of the body of the graft, where the cap may be integral with the body of the graft, attachable to at least one end of the body of the graft, and/or moveable along the body of the graft. The graft may also have a tail that extends from one end of the body of the graft to assist in placement of the graft in a fistula tract. The graft may be an integral unit made of a single material, such as a heterograft material, or may include distinct components made of the same or different materials. Methods for closing a fistula tract are also provided.

L~invention concerne une greffe implantable, susceptible d~être insérée dans le trajet d~une fistule de façon à obturer l~ouverture principale de la fistule. Dans le but d~empêcher le retrait accidentel de la greffe ou de l~extrusion de la greffe de la fistule d~un patient, la greffe peut être dotée d~une coiffe se prolongeant latéralement depuis au moins une extrémité du corps de la greffe, la coiffe pouvant être solidaire du corps de la greffe, attachée à au moins une extrémité du corps de la greffe et/ou mobile le long du corps de la greffe. La greffe peut également comporter une queue se prolongeant depuis une extrémité du corps de la greffe afin d~en faciliter la mise en place dans le trajet de la fistule. La greffe peut prendre la forme d~un élément intégral constitué d~un seul matériau, tel qu~un matériau pour hétérogreffe, ou peut comporter des composants distincts constitués de matériaux identiques ou différents. L~invention concerne également des procédés de fermeture d~un trajet de fistule.
