Implant for bundling a plurality of tendons, particularly chordae tendineae

摘要

The present invention relates to an implant for bundling a plurality of tendons (6), particularly chordae tendineae, wherein a three-dimensionally curved element (1), revolves around a central axis (2) at a radius (3) with respect to the central axis (2) and wherein said radius (3) is larger at a first portion (4) of said curved element (1) than at a second portion (5) of said curved element (1) and wherein said curved element (1) is designed to encompass said plurality of tendons (6) and to bundle them, causing an effective shortening of the tendons (6) along the central axis (2) of the curved element (1).
