RECOVERABLE INTRA-UTERINE SYSTEM

摘要

The recoverable intra-uterine system comprises a housing (1) capable of containing one or a plurality of elements selected from among the group comprising an embryo, male and/or female gametes, a fertilized oocyte, an unfertilized ovum and a combination of these elements, the housing (10) having along an axis (X) a distal end (12) and a proximal end (13), and a device (20) for holding the recoverable intra-uterine device in the uterus. The holding device (20) is arranged at the proximal end (13) of the housing (10) and includes at least one holding arm (23) in the uterine cavity capable of taking at least two positions: - one free position in which at least one holding arm (23) is separated from the axis (X); and - a retracted position in which at least one holding arm (23) is substantially parallel to the axis (X).
