  • Publication number: 20220354554
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an implantable strapping device comprising an elongate hollow textile element comprising an attachment portion and an adjustable loop, the perimeter of the adjustable loop is adjustable by sliding a portion of the adjustable loop in an interior volume of a sleeve arranged in the textile element, and a strapping closing member comprising a front part with which the adjustable loop or the attachment portion is connected, and a rear part comprising a first U-shaped housing configured to receive part of the attachment portion or of the adjustable loop. The strapping device thus comprises a clamping position of the strapping by sliding the adjustable loop in the sleeve, and a locking position in which the sliding of the adjustable loop is prevented by the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9168118
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable attachment device comprising an elongate element which is tubular flexible and hollow delimiting an internal volume comprising a tightening loop, having a first circumference in the inactive position, formed by the portion of said tubular element in said internal volume between intake and outlet openings distant by a length. The device comprises blocking means of said portion in the internal volume of said elongate element, which can be deactivated under the effect of manual traction exerted on the first or second end of said elongate element, said traction enabling the sliding of said elongate element between said orifices and correlatively the formation of the tightening loop having a second circumference in the active position, the second circumference being less than the first circumference.
