Summary:The invention relates to a device for occluding an opening in the tissue of a wall associated with an organ, in particular the permeable foramen ovale. According to the invention, the device, which is advantageously made of a bioresorbable organic polymer material, includes two opercula (10), each consisting of a self-deploying flexible framework (13) and a membrane (11) supporting the growth of adjacent tissue, suitable for assembling in their deployed configuration such as to close the opening. L'invention concerne un dispositif d'occlusion d'un orifice ouvert dans les tissus d'une paroi organique, notamment le foramen ovale perméable. Selon l'invention, le dispositif, avantageusement réalisé en matériau polymère organique biorésorbable, comprend deux opercules (10), composés chacun d'un armature flexible auto-déployante (13) et d'une membrane (11) supportant la croissance des tissus adjacents, aptes à s'assembler dans leur configuration déployée de manière à obturer l'orifice.
