Abstract
Abstract An annuloplasty ring prosthesis (10) which is formed from a selectively flexible body element (14) having at least one defined length (16) about its circumference which is substantially rigid. The remainder of the body element gradually increases in flexibility. The body element (14) is a substantially annular shaped body element which is designed to be sutured to the annulus of a heart valve. The body element (14) is formed from a non-corrosive, anti-magnetic material, and is wrapped in a material (20) through which sutures can be drawn to suture the prosthesis to the heart valve annulus.
