The device incorporates multiple implants for the attachment of prosthetic equipment, and is characterized by the fact that it incorporates multiple identical implants () positioned in alignment and connected to each other at their front () and rear (), in a temporary manner, such that the said implants have a screw-form external configuration, and such that each implant has a longitudinal internal cavity () of triangular cross-section extending fully from end to end, that constitutes the housing for a means of pre-positioning () configured to have a triangular imprint with a spiked-form end part (), such that the interconnection of the implants at the respective front and rear of two successive implants is a temporary connection, and such that the multiple implants constitute an assembled set intended to be inserted into a loader unit associated with the ancillary insertion device.

Device for attachment of prosthesis

A hernia prosthesis includes a first portion defining a bag joined to a second portion constituting a one-piece body. A top plate of the first portion has a plurality of radial tabs around a central opening. The second portion has three distinct successive zones including a first median zone in the form of a very long sheath for introducing and securing an inserter-unfolder device. The median portion is prolonged downwards by a plurality of bands uniformly radially disposed and having bottom ends divided into two each respectively to form two tongues in a Y fastening configuration. Each tongue is fastened by its terminal end to one of the tabs. The second portion, in a top zone, beyond the sheath, comprises two very high tongues which have, in their top portion, a longitudinal slit in their width for attaching the inserter-unfolder device.
