Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Known devices for placing aortic endoprostheses comprise a guide wire by means of which the opening of the main prosthesis already positioned in the aneurysm is sounded prior to insertion of the extension. This is a long and risky procedure. According to the device provided for in the invention a second guide wire for the extension is fixed to the first guide wire used for the main prosthesis in such a way that said second wire can be aligned with the first. In this way the opening for receiving the extension can be sounded from the interior both rapidly and safely.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 11, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 11, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 11, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
