A minimally invasive approach to adjusting the amount of support on an anatomical structure. The methods and apparatus described include the use of a tape for supporting an anatomical structure. Adjustment may be achieved by use of bulking agents applied either directly to the site or into a containment device located within proximity of the tape and such that it works in conjunction with the tape to support the anatomic structure. An alternative approach utilizes mechanical means for adjusting the effective length of the supporting arms of the tape used to support the anatomical structure.

L'invention concerne une méthode effractive minimale pour l'ajustement de la quantité de support sur une structure anatomique. Dans les procédés et appareil de l'invention, on utilise une bande pour soutenir la structure anatomique. L'ajustement peut être assuré au moyen d'agents gonflants appliqués, soit directement sur le site, soit dans un dispositif de confinement placé à proximité de la bande, de sorte qu'il soutienne la structure anatomique, conjointement avec la bande. Dans une autre méthode, on utilise des moyens mécaniques pour ajuster la longueur efficace des bras de support de la bande utilisée pour soutenir la structure anatomique.
