<p>PCT No. PCT/SE80/00130 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 4, 1981 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 23, 1980 PCT Filed May 5, 1980 PCT Pub. No. WO80/02369 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 13, 1980.A device for temporarily or permanently closing body passages or cavities in humans and animals and including a member (2) of a material which swells at least 20% by absorbing body fluids and which is substantially inert to body fluids and surrounding tissues, the member (2) being dimensioned so as to be able to be introduced with clearance into the passage or cavity in its unswollen state but to take up the whole cross-section of the passage or cavity in the swollen state and then to be held by pressure against the surrounding walls of the passage or cavity. The device also comprises an element (7) with outer portions (8) which, in the unswollen state of the member, project out from its surface and which are made of a material with such suitable stiffness that the element with said outer portions (8) spreads out, in a yielding manner, towards the surrounding walls of the passage or cavity in such a manner that the element tends to lock the member in its inserted position by pressure against the wall, which ensures holding of the member before it has developed any direct pressure against the surrounding wall through its swelling.</p> |
