Abstract

La présente invention concerne un fil-guide (1) pourvu d'un corps de fil flexible long (10) et d'un segment d'extension (3) qui est relié à l'extrémité proximale du corps de fil (10) et qui est adapté pour être déplacé vers l'extrémité proximale par rapport au corps de fil (10), passant ainsi dans un état d'extension dans lequel la longueur totale du fil-guide (1) est augmentée. Le segment d'extension (3) peut ajuster graduellement la longueur totale du fil-guide (1), et l'état d'extension du segment d'extension (3) peut être maintenu.
