Abstract

The present invention relates to devices and methods for stretching and elongating soft tissue(s) by means of an implantable actuator having rotating, or telescopically axially moving, element(s), to which one end of one or more pulling wires are attached, said pulling wires are attached to said tissue(s) with another end thereof, said implanted actuator is actuated by means of an externally applied magnetic field adapted to induce rotary/axial movements of a rotating/reciprocating member movably disposed in said actuator, said movements are transferred to said rotating, or axially moving, element(s) by means of unidirectional clutch(s), ratchet mechanism and gear means thereby causing said pulling wires to retract in response to axial movement of said telescopically axially moving element inwardly into said implantable actuator, or to wound about said rotating element(s), and thus to stretch the tissue said pulling wires are attached to.
