Medical device comprising DESIGN FOR ARTIFICIAL REDUCTION

摘要

1. A medical device, comprising: - a structure for providing artificial reduction, comprising at least two contractile element (2, 12, 100, 132) adapted to compress body so that each of the contractile elements (2, 12, 100, 132) may be in the rest position or in an activated position regardless of the position of the other elements, wherein the activated position corresponds to a position in which said contractile element (2, 12, 100, 132) compresses the body and rest position respectively, exists a position in which said contractile element (2, 12, 100, 132) does not compress the body, - at least one actuator adapted to activate said contractile structure, wherein the apparatus is characterized in that each contractile element (2, 12, 100, 132) is connected to an adjacent contractile element (2, 12, 100, 132), wherein the elements retain flexibility relative to each druga.2. The medical device according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises at least two actuators, each actuator is associated with one of said contractile elements (2, 12, 100, 132) and adapted to activate the associated contractive element ( 2, 12, 100, 132) .3. The medical device according to claim 2, characterized in that each actuator comprises fibers (4, 14) made of a contractile material and attached to each of contractile elements (2, 12) .4. The medical device according to claim 1, characterized in that the actuator is separate from the structure to provide an artificial reduction, and in that said drive also comprises a transfer means (108, 126, 136) associated with a
