Patent

CA 2704920

In one preferred embodiment, a prosthesis is provided that can be selectively expanded by increasing the temperature of the prosthesis within the patient. The prosthesis is composed of a shape memory material that expands when heated to a temperature greater than an average body temperature, allowing the user to selectively heat and therefore expand the prosthesis at a desired location.

L'invention concerne une prothèse qui peut être expansée de manière sélective en augmentant la température de la prothèse à l'intérieur du patient. La prothèse est composée d'un matériau à mémoire de forme qui s'expanse quand il est chauffé à une température supérieure à une température corporelle moyenne, permettant à l'utilisateur de chauffer de manière sélective et, par conséquent, d'expanser la prothèse à un endroit souhaité.
