Abstract:
1. An implantable attachment device comprising an elongate tubular element which is flexible and hollow delimiting an internal volume comprising a tightening loop, having a first circumference in the inactive position, formed by the arrangement of a portion of said tubular element in said internal volume between intake and outlet openings distant by a length, said portion having front and rear ends, and wherein the device comprises a blocking device of said portion in the internal volume of said elongate element, said blocking device being 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, wherein the blocking device comprises a coating in at least one polymer applied to the external surface and the periphery of the elongate element over the length separating the intake and outlet openings.
