Patent

CA 2471829

The invention provides techniques for securely engaging an organ, such as a beating heart (10), with a manipulating device (12). A bag-like device (22) may be deployed around a substantial volume of the organ and the manipulating device. In one embodiment, the bag-like device may be net-like, including one or more mesh apertures (36). Once deployed, the bag-like device cooperates with the manipulating device when the organ is manipulated and reduces the risk that the organ will be inadvertently released or dropped.

Cette invention concerne des techniques permettant de saisir un organe en toute sécurité, tel qu'un coeur battant (10), avec un dispositif de manipulation. Un dispositif enveloppant (22) peut être déployé autour d'une partie substantielle de l'organe et du dispositif de manipulation. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce dispositif enveloppant peut se présenter sous la forme d'un filet doté d'une ou plusieurs ouvertures (36). Une fois déployé, le dispositif enveloppant coopère avec le dispositif de manipulation pendant la manipulation de l'organe et réduit les risques que cet organe ne soit lâché ou tombe accidentellement.
