ABSTRACT:
The technical field of the invention is that of making surgical materials implantable in the human body. The extender device (2) comprises at least two independent resilient members (8) each having at least one end fixed to at least one of two fastening members (7), enabling the device (2) to be fixed in a living tissue along the edges (13) of an area of the tissue that is to be treated. The edges are opposite each other in the direction in which they are moved towards each other at least by the resilient members and the device further includes a common support (9) to which the opposite ends of said resilient ends (8) are connected. The members (8) deform and move relative to the common support (9) so as to entrain the fastening members (7) over the support, urging them towards each other.
