Summary:An implant (801) for closing an opening in tissue such as a fistula or a sinus comprises a coil having a substantially uniform outer diameter. The coil forms an internal passage having a diameter that tapers from a distal end to a proximal end. The implant (801) may be delivered using a non-tapered driver coil (820). L'invention concerne un implant (801) permettant de fermer une ouverture dans un tissu, tel qu'une fistule ou un sinus, comprenant une spire ayant un diamètre externe sensiblement uniforme. La spire forme un passage interne ayant un diamètre qui s'effile depuis une extrémité distale jusqu'à une extrémité proximale. L'implant (801) peut être mis en place à l'aide d'une spire d'entraînement non conique (820).
