Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2527965A1] The invention relates to a surgical ring implant (1, 10) for restricting biological organ(s), comprising a pouch and/or a duct such as to modify the section of passage of said organ. The ring (1, 10) is in the form of a flexible band (2, 20), extending between a first and a second end (3, 4, 40, 400), whereby said flexible band (2, 20) is provided towards said first and second ends (3, 4, 40, 400) with male (5, 50) and female (6, 60, 600) closur e elements respectively, embodied to cooperate in such a fashion that the flexible band (2, 20) forms a closed loop, the female closure element (6, 60 , 600) forming a permanent closed collar, characterised in that said female element (6, 60, 600) has a structural discontinuity (20, 200, 2000) at which the deformability of the female element (6, 60, 600) is greater than the res t of the female element (6, 60, 600). The above is of use for surgical ring implants.
