Abstract: The present invention relates to an artificial ligament (10) comprising a hollow textile sheath (20) receiving a deformable elastic insert offsetting the rigid deformation phase of said artificial ligament (10) when a longitudinal tensile force is applied thereto.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable device, in particular for the reconstruction of an anterior cruciate ligament or a tendon, comprising an elongate core (20) and a hollow elongate covering member comprising an inside volume at least partially receiving said elongate core, wherein said elongate core comprises a polymer matrix that is bioerodible in an aqueous medium and one or more functional agents, and the covering member comprises through-holes in fluid communication with said inside volume. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such an implantable device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable device (10) for repairing at least one tendon or ligament, advantageously comprising a hollow braid (20) configured to receive in its interior volume (30) at least one portion of a tendon or ligament, and comprising over its length a central repair part (40) arranged between first and second lateral parts (50, 60). The braiding angle (?) in at least one region (42) of the central part (40) at rest is smaller than the braiding angle (?1) in at least one region (52) of the first lateral part (50) and/or than the braiding angle (?2) in at least one region (62) of the second lateral part (60) at rest.

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.

Abstract: The invention provides an implantable prosthesis (100) comprising: an adhesive portion (102) that is capable of forming adhesions with organic tissues, the adhesive portion presenting a first peripheral edge (102a) and; a non-adhesive portion (104) that inhibits the formation of adhesions with tissues, that is secured to the adhesive portion, and that presents a second peripheral edge (104a), the first peripheral edge (102a) being set back from the second peripheral edge (104a) so as to uncover the non-adhesive portion, in part, defining, between the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge, a non-adhesive peripheral band (106) that surrounds the adhesive portion (102); the adhesive portion (102) has a central portion, and presents the shape of a star that includes a plurality of branches (108) that extend from the central portion, the adhesive portion having a plurality of notches (109) that are situated between the branches.

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.
