Abstract:
1. A system comprising: at least one ferromagnetic structure adapted to be implanted within a first region of a tissue, at least one anchoring structure adapted to be implanted within a second region of the tissue spaced from the at least one ferromagnetic structure, and at least one attachment assembly coupling the at least one anchoring structure to the at least one ferromagnetic structure to stabilize the at least one ferromagnetic structure in the first region of the tissue, the attachment assembly including an attachment element having a first end coupled to the at least one ferromagnetic structure and a second end coupled to the at least one anchoring structure to hold the attachment element in a state of tension between the at least one ferromagnetic structure and the at least one anchoring structure, the second end including a member adapted to adjust the state of the tension while the at least one ferromagnetic structure and the at least one anchoring structure are being implanted or after the at least one ferromagnetic structure and the at least one anchoring structure have been implanted.
