The present invention relates to a prosthesis () for hernia repair comprising a reinforcement layer (), a first barrier layer () of anti-adhesion material covering at least a part of a surface of the reinforcement layer, and a second barrier layer of anti-adhesion material covering a remaining part of the surface of the reinforcement layer, the second barrier layer being formed of one or more flap member(s) ().

Prosthesis for hernia repair

An implant for the prevention or treatment of a hernia in the proximity of an organ stoma formed in an abdominal wall includes a porous structure having a surface intended to face the abdominal cavity covered by a first film of anti-adhesive material. The porous structure includes a first part intended to be in contact with a stoma organ and having a first thickness, and a second part having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, the first part including a surface intended to face the abdominal wall covered by a second film of anti-adhesive material.

Implant for parastomal hernia

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.

Bioresorbable wall reinforcement implants include a bioresorbable porous matrix based on a collagen sponge which defines first pores, a bioresorbable porous three-dimensional knit which defines second pores, with the matrix filling the knit and all the first and second pores being at least partially interconnected with one another. Tissue engineering supports including such an implant and uses thereof are also described.

Bioresorbable implant

The invention concerns a device comprising: a packaging box for the flexible material part, dimensioned to hold said part flat; folding means for folding said part without direct handling; and a reception tube for receiving said folded flexible material part. The invention is characterized in that the folding means comprise; a traction suture connected to the flexible material part, which passes through the tube, and, walls forming a funnel whereof the base emerges proximate to the opening of the tube through which the flexible material part is designed to be inserted into said tube, said funnel being designed, when a traction is exerted on the traction suture, to gradually fold down the zones of the part located laterally relative to the tube towards the zone of the part located opposite the opening of said tube, to enable the part to be inserted into the tube.

Cell cultures or tissue engineering supports, include at least a porous matrix based on a collagen sponge which defines first pores and a porous three-dimensional knit which defines second pores, the porous matrix filling the three-dimensional knit and all the first and second pores being at least partially interconnected with one another.

Tissue engineering support

The present invention relates to a prosthetic open knit fabric () made as a single piece, based on an arrangement consisting of several sets of yarns of a biocompatible polymer material, comprising, continuously in the direction of production of the knit, a central strip () and two lateral strips (), one on each side of the central strip, characterized in that it comprises one or more set(s) of pillar stitch yarns defining a pillar stitch pattern, the said one or more set(s) of pillar stitch yarns extending across the entire width of the central strip () and of the lateral strips () and together forming a first threading across the width of the central strip and a second threading across the width of the lateral strips, the said first and second threading being different, and at least two partial weft stitching sets. The present invention also relates to a method of producing such a knit fabric and to an implant for supporting prolapses obtained from such a knit fabric.

The present invention relates to a composite prosthesis for reinforcement of a tissue structure, including a porous textile support which includes an arrangement of threads each composed of at least one filament of nonabsorbable polymer material, said textile support defining a microporous texture including the interstices located between at least two threads at the sites of contact of one thread with at least one other thread, wherein, in at least one protected zone of the textile support, a hydrophilic absorbable material coats the textile support, forming a film enveloping and penetrating into the arrangement of threads, occluding at least the microporous texture, but without forming a plane layer covering at least one face of the textile support. It also relates to a process for preparing such a composite reinforcement prosthesis.

Prosthesis for reinforcement of tissue structures

The invention concerns a device formed with several yarns () knitted together so as to constitute a cylindrical elongated knitted fabric, that is a knitted fabric wherein the yarns () forming the stitches intersect substantially at the radially inner zone of said knitted fabric. The invention also concerns a device for setting in place, in the corporeal duct to be treated, an occluding device (), comprising a longitudinal tube designed to contain the occlusive device when the latter is inserted into the duct to be treated.

An appliance for storing, distributing and placing surgical fasteners comprises a handgrip body and an elongate element attached to the handgrip. The elongate element includes a magazine slide adapted to be displaced in the elongate element by a control rod. The control rod can be, in turn, actuated by the handgrip. The magazine slide also has surgical fasteners. Each surgical fastener has an anchoring bar, a catching bar and a connecting strip. A distal part of the anchoring bar has a conical shape. A distal end of the distal part of the anchoring bar has a hemispherical shape.

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;.

A gastric ring includes a band that surrounds the wall of the stomach of a patient, and structure that makes it possible, after implantation, to modify the cross section of the opening delimited by the ring. The ring includes a band including at least one deformable zone made of a material that is elastically deformable in the longitudinal direction of the band, where the deformable zone has at least two bearing points formed therein at respective locations separated in the longitudinal direction of the band, and at least one rigid element made of a bioabsorbable or biodegradable material and bearing against the deformable zone in the area of the bearing points, where the rigid element, before absorption, maintains the bearing points at a distance from one another different than the distance separating the two bearing points in the absence of elastic deformation of the deformable zone of the band, and, upon absorption, no longer forms an obstacle to the return of the deformable zone of the band to its nondeformed state.
