Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for use in a cerclage procedure includes a flexible support member and a plurality of compression members disposed along the flexible support member. Each of the compression members has a connecting feature through which a suture used during the cerclage procedure is passed. Each of the compression members transforms a radially-compressive force applied by the suture into a radial pressure applied against the cervix. Un appareil destiné à être utilisé dans une intervention de cerclage comprend un organe de maintien flexible et une pluralité d'organes de compression disposés le long de l'organe de maintien flexible. Chaque organe de compression présente un élément de liaison par l'intermédiaire duquel est passé un fil de suture utilisé pendant l'intervention de cerclage. Chaque organe de compression transforme une force de compression radiale appliquée par le fil de suture en une pression radiale appliquée contre le cervix.
