A prosthetic knit for medical or surgical use which has a structure made of monofilament and/or multifilament yarn which is biocompatible and optionally partially bioabsorbable. According to the invention, this knit comprises a monofilament sheet forming, on one face of the knit, spiked naps which protrude perpendicularly with respect to said sheet, that is to say naps each having a substantially rectlinear body and, at the free end of this body, a head of greater width than that of this body.

Prosthetic knit with grip properties, method for its production, and reinforcement implant for treatment of parietal defects

A fastener including at least an element to be anchored in an anatomical support, at least a stop element relative to a planar prosthetic component to be fixed, and a linking rod is characterised in that the linking rod is rectilinear and the junction zones of the anchoring element and the stop element with the linking rod enable the fastener to adopt: a non-stressed stripping configuration; a maximum stress configuration, doubled up on itself, for example in a tubular configuration by complete insertion of the fastener into a tube, and a minimum stress configuration, wherein the respective directions of the stop element and the anchoring element form between them, for example in the same plane, an angle not greater than 90&#xb0;.

Fastener for fixing a prosthesis, and device for delivering this fastener

The kit () comprises a needle () for placing the fixing element (), and the fixing element () comprises at least one stop part () and a threaded deformable part () joined to said stop part (). According to the invention, the needle () and the fixing element () comprise means () for detachably connecting the stop part () to the proximal part () of the needle (), said connection being solid enough to enable the stop part () to remain integral with the needle () during the manipulation of the kit () when said kit () is handled, also enabling it to be introduced into the body of a patient and enabling the needle () to be introduced into a wall (), said connection, however, being able to be released when a traction force is exerted upon the needle (), in the direction in which the needle is inserted, beyond a force threshold which is greater than the stress exerted upon the fixing element () as a result of said manipulation, whereby release of the fixing element enables the stop part () to be brought into a non-deformed position by means of elastic recall of said connection.
