CA 2740245

Devices, methods, and kits for tensioning tethers during a tissue modification procedure are described. In some variations, a tether coupled to anchors embedded in tissue may be tensioned to provide a cinching effect that tightens or compress-es the tissue by bringing two pieces or sections of the tissue together. In certain variations, the tether may then be locked (e.g., to maintain the tension), and/or excess tether may be severed. The devices, methods, and/or kits may be used, for example, in mini-mally invasive procedures.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des procédés et des trousses de mise en tension de câbles dattache pendant une intervention de modification d'un tissu. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un câble d'attache couplé à des ancrages incorporés dans le tissu peut être mis en tension pour fournir un effet de serrage qui resserre ou comprime le tissu en rapprochant deux morceaux ou sections de tissu. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le câble d'attache peut alors être verrouillé (par exemple pour maintenir la tension), et/ou le câble d'attache en excédent peut être coupé. Les dispositifs, procédés et/ou trousses peuvent être utilisées, par exemple, dans des interventions avec effraction minimale.
