This invention is a prosthetic linkage (110) for use with skeletal muscle (M). The linkage (110) includes a plurality of longitudinally extending filaments (14) forming a strand (12). The strand (12) has a first portion (20) that includes a core portion (22) wherein the filaments (14) extend generally parallel to each other, and an exterior portion (24) wherein the filaments (14) are braided along its longitudinal axis around the core portion (22). The strand (12) also includes a second portion (30) wherein the filaments (14) are generally randomly oriented, and sized for integration into skeletal muscle (M).
L'invention concerne une attache (110) prothétique établissant une liaison avec un muscle (M) squelettique. Cette attache (110) comprend une pluralité de filaments (14) longitudinaux formant un cordon (12). Ce cordon (12) comprend une première partie (20) composée d'une portion (22) formant l'âme, dans laquelle les filaments (14) sont sensiblement parallèles les uns aux autres, et d'une portion (24) extérieure dans laquelle les filaments (14) sont tressés le long de l'axe longitudinal, autour de l'âme (22). Le cordon (12) comprend en outre une seconde partie (30) dans laquelle les filaments (14) sont orientés de manière sensiblement aléatoire et sont calibrés de manière à pouvoir être insérés dans le muscle (M) squelettique.
