System for Compressing a Part of a Living Being

An active module (M_0) that can be used in a system for compressing a part of a living being, said active module (M_0) comprising N compression modules (M_i) juxtaposed along a longitudinal axis (Y) between two opposite edges (200, 201), wherein the opposite edges comprise a the first edge (200) and a second edge (201) of said active module, N being greater than or equal to 2, wherein each compression module-is defined by a rank i, with i ranging from 1 to N, wherein each compression module (M_i) comprises at least one first traction member (30) secured to the first edge (200) of the active module (M_0) and means for driving said first traction member in translation, wherein each compression module is electronically controllable to perform clamping by translational displacement of its first traction member (30) along a clamping axis (X) perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (Y), wherein said first traction member (30) of each compression module (M_i) is attached to at least one other first traction member (30) of an adjacent compression module via first connection means, said first connection means being arranged to effect a mechanical transfer of movement from the first traction member (30) of each compression module (M_i) to the first traction member of the adjacent compression module.
