Abstract
The invention relates to a device for medical use which is capable of being introduced into a duct of a living human or animal body, said device comprising a biocompatible flexible rod which has an axis along which it extends, free of stress, in a rectilinear manner, said rod having a length along this axis, a distal end and a proximal end. This device is characterised in that in order that the rod should remain substantially at a specific implantation location in the duct it is equipped with at least one means for absorbing axial stresses which is disposed along the axis thereof and is distinct therefrom whilst being connected thereto, such that its proximal end is not substantially displaced axially once the rod has reached the specific implantation location in the duct.
