Abstract

In order to destroy vascular deformations in the human body, a clamp is provided which is made from titanium. The clamp is expanded in the relieved state and is transferable into the clamping position by a clamping ring, which is displaceable along the clamp in the attached state. The clamp is introduced into the body by a probe, which has a tubular casing and a positioning bar guided therein. The clamp is transferred into the region of the deformation and applied at the application location as a result of the clamping ring being transferred into the clamping position. The transfer is caused by a relative movement between tubular casing and positioning bar. The probe is then released from the positioned clamp.
