It is proposed to provide an implantable tube valve for implanting in a human vessel, in particular, the fallopian tube. The implantable tube valve comprises: an implantable tube having an inner tube wall extending between two axial tube ends and comprising a mount inside the tube; and a valve member mounted in said mount and pivotable between an open position and a closed position; wherein the valve member comprises a sealing edge contacting, the inner tube wall, when pivoted in the closed position, the valve member thereby closing off passage through the implantable tube; the valve member further comprising an outer face conformal to the inner tube wall; and an inner face conformal to the outer face thereby providing unobstructed passage through the implantable tube, when pivoted in the open position. |
