Abstract
A design and method of implantation is disclosed for a flexible annuloplasty system for repairing a valve in a patient's heart. The annuloplasty system includes an elongate, flexible band with a needle attached to one end of the band and a fit adjuster attached to the other end of the band. The band is made of silicone and includes a plurality of fibers that are configured to prevent axial elongation of the band. In addition, the plurality of fibers ensure that a suture will catch on the fibers and prevent the suture from tearing out of the band.
