The present invention relates to an artificial contractile device comprising at least one contractile element (1) comprising a flexible strip (4) extending in a longitudinal direction and a closure (6) for forming the contractile element (1) into a closed loop around a hollow body organ, the closure (6) being situated at a first extremity of the flexible strip (4). The contractile element is adapted to contract a hollow body organ, in such a way that said contractile element (1) may be in a resting position or in an activated position. The artificial contractile device further comprises a flexible transmission (3) comprising a tensioning element (31) being anchored at a first end (311) to a first anchoring point (A) on the flexible strip (4), said flexible transmission (3) being adapted to tighten the contractile element (1) formed in a closed loop around said hollow body organ upon application of a traction force at and end of the tensioning element (31) by an actuator (7). The artificial contractile device also comprises a connector (5) adapted to connect the flexible transmission (3) to a said actuator (7), a second end (312) of said tensioning element (31) being anchored in said connector (5).本發明係關於一種人工收縮裝置，其包括至少一收縮元件(1)，該至少一收縮元件(1)包括在一縱向方向上延伸之一撓性帶(4)及用於使該收縮元件(1)圍繞一中空人體器官形成為一閉環之一閉合件(6)，該閉合件(6)位於該撓性帶(4)之一第一末端處。該收縮元件經調適以依使得該收縮元件(1)可處於一靜止位置或一啟動位置中之一方式收縮一中空人體器官。該人工收縮裝置進一步包括一撓性傳動裝置(3)，其包括在一第一端(311)處錨定至該撓性帶(4)上之一第一錨定點(A)之一拉伸元件(31)，該撓性傳動裝置(3)經調適以在由一致動器(7)將一拉力施加於該拉伸元件(31)之一端處之後收緊圍繞該中空人體器官形成為一閉環之該收縮元件(1)。該人工收縮裝置亦包括經調適以將該撓性傳動裝置(3)連接至該致動器(7)之一連接器(5)，該拉伸元件(31)之一第二端(312)錨定於該連接器(5)中。
