Abstract
A modular medical implant allowing the targeted injection of a liquid or pasty material into a bone cavity. This implant is produced with four types of modules provided with a lumen and of variable lengths, including: either a male securing principle, referred to as proximal modules, or a female securing principle, referred to as distal modules, or a male securing principle and a female securing principle, referred to as intermediate modules and perforated intermediate modules, that can be secured in a predetermined order and number in order to position the perforated intermediate modules at suitable levels to allow an injection product to be conveyed to and diffused at the targeted locations, via the perforations, while producing the required length of the implant. The implant is intended, in general, for surgical operations and, in particular, for interventional radiology.
