The invention relates to a prosthesis for supporting a breast implant comprising:

Prosthesis for supporting a breast structure

A biodegradable triblock copolymer comprising: an A-B-A' structure wherein the A and A′ blocks each include polylactide, the B block includes from about 55 to about 100 mole percent of polytrimethylene carbonate and 0 to about 45 mole percent polylactide, and the biodegradable triblock copolymer overall includes from about 15 to about 25 mole percent of the polytrimethylene carbonate and from about 75 to about 85 mole percent of the polylactide. Also provided are compositions and implantable medical devices made therefrom.

Biodegradable triblock copolymers and implantable medical devices made therefrom

The present disclosure describes kits for surgical repair of soft tissue defects, including hernias. The kits include any combination of components selected from an implantable sheet, a central tie, a delivery tool, a rolling device, and an insertion member. Packaging for the kits and/or components and methods of using the kits and/or components are also provided.

Kits for surgical repair of soft tissue defects and components, packaging, and methods of use thereof

The present invention relates to a surgical textile () comprising an arrangement of biocompatible yarns defining a first face () and a second face () of the textile, the second face opposite the first face, the textile being provided at least on an area of a surface of one of its faces with a plurality of barbs () showing substantially a first length L, measured perpendicularly to that surface, characterised in that said area of said surface is further provided with a plurality of loops (), said loops showing substantially a second length L, measured perpendicularly to that surface, where Lis greater than L. The invention further relates to a process for manufacturing such a textile.

Surgical textile with barbs and loops

The present disclosure describes kits for surgical repair of soft tissue defects, including hernias. The kits include any combination of components selected from an implantable sheet, a central tie, a delivery tool, a delivery tool insert configured to be received within the delivery tool, a rolling device, and an insertion member. Packaging for the kits and/or components and methods of using the kits and/or components are also provided.
