Patent

CA 2652601

A ureteral decompression device comprises a guide member and an anchoring structure. The guide member may be introduced through the urethra and bladder into the ureter so that the anchor structure passes a lodged kidney stone. Once past the stone, the anchor structure can be compacted to anchor the guide member in place. The anchor structure will permit leakage and the guide member will provide a leakage path directly past the stone, thus decompressing the kidney.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de décompression urétérale comprenant un élément de guidage et une structure d'ancrage. L'élément de guidage peut être introduit par l'urètre et la vessie dans l'uretère de sorte que la structure d'ancrage va au-delà d'un calcul rénal logé. Une fois passé le calcul, la structure d'ancrage peut être compactée afin d'ancrer l'élément de guidage en place. La structure d'ancrage permet la fuite d'urine et l'élément de guidage assure un chemin de fuite directement après le calcul, décompressant ainsi le rein.
