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

Prosthesis for supporting a breast structure

The invention relates to a method for forming a mesh having a barbed suture attached thereto, comprising the following steps: The invention also relates to the mesh obtained by this method.

Method for forming a mesh having a barbed suture attached thereto and the mesh thus obtained

The invention relates to a method for forming a prosthetic base knit () made of two parallel sheets of porous knits, namely a first sheet () of porous knit and a second sheet of porous knit, said two parallel sheets being joined together in a discrete manner by a plurality of connecting porous knits () spaced apart from each other. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing H-shaped prostheses for hernia repair from said base knit thus obtained and to the prostheses obtained therefrom.

Method for forming a base knit suitable for manufacturing hernia prostheses and hernia prostheses obtained therefrom

The invention relates to a knit having barbs protruding outwards from both faces obtained by knitting yarns of biocompatible material in guide-bars B, Band Bof a knitting machine, wherein the knitting patterns followed by guide-bars Band Binvolve at least two needles and produce an arrangement of yarns defining two faces of the knit, the knitting pattern followed by guide-bar Bmaking stitches generating loops protruding outwards from each of the faces of the knit, guide-bar Bbeing threaded with a hot-melt monofilament yarn, heat-setting the knit, forming barbs by cutting the loops via melting.

Two-sides gripping knit

The invention relates to a method for forming a barbed suture () comprising: a) producing a knit by knitting together i) a set of chain stitch yarns () producing chain stitches and ii) a set of monofilament weft yarns completing weft stitches with at least one of said chain stitches, thereby producing at least one weft stitched chain stitch (), b) cutting the knit along the warp direction on both sides of said weft stitched chain stitch, so as to isolate said weft stitched chain stitch from the rest of the produced knit, the chain stitch yarn of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch forming the elongate body () of the barbed suture and the monofilament cuts () extending from said weft stitches of said one weft stitched chain stitch forming the barbs () of said barbed suture.

Method for forming a barbed suture and the barbed suture thus obtained

The invention relates to a knit having barbs protruding outwards from both faces obtained by knitting yarns of biocompatible material in guide-bars B2, B3 and B4 of a knitting machine, wherein the knitting patterns followed by guide-bars B2 and B3 involve at least two needles and produce an arrangement of yarns defining two faces of the knit, the knitting pattern followed by guide-bar B4 making stitches generating loops protruding outwards from each of the faces of the knit, guide-bar B4 being threaded with a hot-melt monofilament yarn, heat-setting the knit, forming barbs by cutting the loops via melting.

The invention relates to a method for forming a barbed suture () comprising:
