Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a muscle membrane intended to be affixed to a muscle of a human or animal body, the membrane being capable of at least partially surrounding the muscle, the muscle comprising fibres covered with an outer tissue, the positioned membrane having a shape that is identical to that of the muscle. The membrane is characterised in that it exhibits anisotropic behaviour so as to reproduce the mechanical behaviour of the muscle, the membrane comprising: -a matrix designed in a biocompatible material having an elasticity similar to that of the outer tissue of the muscle, -one or more reinforcing strips rigidly attached to the matrix, each strip being designed in a biocompatible material having an elasticity similar to that of the fibres it covers and each strip being oriented according to membrane stiffening requirements and according to the expected muscle correction.
