Claim 0:
1. A device for holding and releasing an object, such as a medical implant, comprising:
two hook systems to which said object is able to be coupled so as to allow said hook systems to jointly hold said object,
said two hook systems being configured such that, in the state in which said object is coupled to said hook systems, at least one of the hook systems is subjected to a return force that makes it possible to keep the object coupled to said hook systems;
in that each hook system has at least one hook that exhibits a passage through which at least a part of said object is able to extend,
and in that, with said passage of said at least one hook of each hook system having a passage axis along which at least a part of said object is able to extend, said at least one hook of each hook system exhibits a hook opening zone configured so as to allow said object to be released through said hook opening zone, by said object being pivoted about an axis orthogonal to the passage axis,
each of said two hook systems comprises an arm that is provided with at least one hook,
wherein said arm is movable so as to allow the corresponding hook system to be moved with respect to another of said two hook systems;
wherein the two hook systems are activable by the operator into the releasing position by pinching the arms of the hook systems so as to move said arms toward one another such that the hooks no longer prevent the removal of the implant.
