The invention relates to a gastroplasty ring formed by a flexible band (2)
which comprises a first end part (5) and a second end part (6) and which
is intended to be closed around the stomach toward its two end parts by a
closure system in order to reduce the diameter of the opening of the
stoma by forming a loop, the band comprising an adjustable-volume annular
compression chamber (3) connected, at the first end part, by an adjusting
catheter (7) to a device for adjusting the internal pressure of said
chamber, so as to adjust its diametral expansion, the ring comprising at
least one grab tab (11, 12, 13) which projects toward the outside of the
loop to make it easier for the two end parts to be brought together and
parted.
