ABSTRACT:
The gastric ring comprises an elongate element that can be deformed into a loop between a distal end portion and a proximal end portion, together with closure means suitable for folding the elongate element into a loop and for fastening the distal and proximal end portions together once they have been moved close to each other while looping the ring. At least the elongate element is made of a material that is resorbable, preferably over a period of about or less than 2 years, e.g. of a poly-α-hydroxy acid. The elongate element is constituted by a proximal link, a distal link, and intermediate links hinged about pivot axes.
