The present invention relates to a surgical instrument () for deploying a prosthesis () and includes a first layer and second layer assembled together so as to define an internal space accessible to said surgical instrument () by means of an opening provided in said first layer, said surgical instrument including at least one sheet () made of a flexible resilient material, said sheet continuously overlapping itself one or more times so as to define a plurality of levels forming a spiral (). The invention also relates to a kit including such a surgical instrument and such a prosthesis.

Surgical instrument for deploying a prosthesis

The present invention relates to a reinforcing element () for a circular mesh, comprising a plurality of fingers () which, at rest, form a conical structure () that can open out when the reinforcing element is placed under axial stress, each finger comprising a vertex segment () and a peripheral segment () defining a vertex part () and a peripheral part () of the said conical structure, the said reinforcing element comprising, for each finger, means () of misaligning the said vertex segment and the said peripheral segment, at least when the said reinforcing element is under axial stress, the said misalignment means making it possible, in the said position under axial stress, firstly for the peripheral part of the said conical structure to adopt a planar configuration, and secondly, for the said vertex part of the said structure to maintain a conical shape. The invention also relates to a prosthesis () comprising such a reinforcing element () associated with a mesh ().

Element for reinforcing a mesh

The present invention relates to a surgical stapler loaded with at least two sets of surgical fasteners () of different types that are delivered in a pre-established order. The invention also relates to a surgical kit comprising such a surgical stapler and a textile prosthesis.
