Artificial contractile structure () for a medical device, said artificial contractile structure () comprising: —an elongated member () adapted to contact a hollow body organ; —a closure () adapted to form the artificial contractile structure () into a closed loop around said hollow body organ; —a tension system () arranged to be connected to a control unit (), said tension system () being adapted to modify an internal diameter of said closed loop in response to a force applied by said control unit (). According to the invention, said elongated member () comprises a resilient core () and a biocompatible outer sheath (). Said tension system () furthermore comprises a first tensile element () attached to a first point () of said elongated member, and a second tensile element () attached to a second point () of said elongated member, each of said tensile elements () passing through an adaptor () situated between said first point () and said second point ().
