Patent

CA 2716040

A ventilation device (1100) includes a hollow body (1102) having a main portion(1104), at least one distal member (1106) coupled to a distal end (1110) of the main portion and at least one proximal member (1108) coupled to a proximal end (1112) of the main portion. The at least one distal member is formed of a shape memory material. The hollow body includes a deployed state for maintaining an opening in an anatomical structure (1260) and an undeployed state. The shape memory material forms the at least one distal member into a deployed position. The shape memory material is reversibly deformed from the deployed state into the undeployed state such that at least the distal member changes in shape to an undeployed position, while the main portion of the hollow body remains unchanged.

Un dispositif de ventilation (1100) comprend un corps creux (1102) possédant une partie principale (1104), au moins un élément distal (1106) raccordé à une extrémité distale (1110) de la partie principale et au moins un élément proximal (1108) raccordé à une extrémité proximale (1112) de la partie principale. Cet ou ces éléments distaux sont fabriqués dans un matériau à mémoire de forme. Le corps creux comprend un état déployé permettant de maintenir une ouverture dans une structure anatomique (1260) et un état non déployé. Le matériau à mémoire de forme constitue le ou les éléments distaux en position déployée. Le matériau à mémoire de forme est déformé de manière réversible de l'état déployé à l'état non déployé de sorte que le ou les éléments distaux changent de forme dans une position non déployée, alors que la partie principale du corps creux reste inchangée.
