Abstract

Abstract Ring (2) of the type comprising a core (4) inserted in a textile sheath (5) providing a stitching means, the core (4) comprising at least one relatively rigid portion (4a) and one portion (4b) which is relatively flexible in relation to the latter. According to the invention, the transversal section of the core (4) differs along the ring circumference (2), that is, it diminishes in the direction of the more flexible portion (4b), thereby making the ring sufficiently flexible in order that the movement of the heart wall is unimpeded.
