A device (12) for implanting a tissue prosthesis comprises an elongate support member (14) having a proximal end (16) and a distal end (18), the support member (14) defining a recessed receiving zone 20 at a distal region for receiving at least a part (22) of the implant in a collapsed configuration. A cover member (24) having a proximal end (26) and a distal end (28) is arranged on the support member (14) to cover at least the receiving zone (20) of the support member (14), the cover member (24) being removably arranged relative to the support member (l4) to provide access to the receiving zone (20), the cover member (24) and the support member (14) together defining an insertion assembly (32). An insertion formation is defined at the distal end (18) of the insertion assembly (32) for facilitating insertion of at least a distal part of the insertion assembly (32) into position relative to a site in a patient's body in which the implant is to be located, in use, so that, upon removal of the cover member (24), the part (22) of the implant is positioned at the site.

L'invention décrit un dispositif (12) permettant d'implanter une prothèse de tissu et comprenant un élément de support allongé (14) présentant une extrémité proximale (16) et une extrémité distale (18), l'élément de support (14) définissant une zone de réception en creux (20) au niveau d'une région distale pour recevoir au moins une partie (22) de l'implant dans une configuration affaissée ; un élément de recouvrement (24) ayant une extrémité proximale (26) et une extrémité distale (28) est disposé sur l'élément de support (14) pour recouvrir au moins la zone de réception (20) de l'élément de support (14), l'élément de recouvrement (24) étant disposé de façon amovible par rapport à l'élément de support (14) pour fournir un accès à la zone de réception (20), l'élément de recouvrement (24) et l'élément de support (14) définissant ensemble un ensemble d'introduction (32). Une formation d'introduction est définie à l'extrémité distale (18) de l'ensemble d'insertion (32) pour faciliter l'introduction d'au moins une partie distale de l'ensemble d'introduction (32) en position par rapport à un site dans le corps d'un patient dans lequel l'implant doit être situé, en utilisation, de telle sorte que, lors du retrait de l'élément de recouvrement (24), la partie (22) de l'implant est positionnée au niveau du site.
