Abstract:
The invention relates to a prosthesis (1) for the repair of an inguinal hernia comprising: a textile (2) of elongate shape, a resilient frame (3) connected to said textile, characterized in that said frame comprises a convex cranial segment (3c), a caudal segment (3d), a lateral corner segment (3b) joining together the convex cranial segment and the caudal segment, and a folding segment (5) joining a medial end of said convex cranial segment to a point located on the caudal segment while leaving the region of the medial end of the textile free of any frame, said frame being able to adopt an unstressed configuration, in which said textile is deployed, and a stressed configuration, in which said convex cranial segment, said caudal segment and said folding segment are substantially collected together and aligned on one folding direction, said textile forming thereby at least one fold along said folding direction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for forming a mesh having a barbed suture attached thereto, comprising the following steps: a) producing a knitted structure on a knitting machine comprising at least one needle-bed with three guide bars, on a length corresponding to N stitches ranging from 1 to N, wherein i) a first knit portion is produced along stitches ranging from 1 to x, where 1

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device (1) for introducing a flexible prosthesis into a surgical incision, comprising a globally tubular body (2) having a proximal end (2a) and a distal end (2b), said tubular body being designed for receiving the prosthesis in a folded configuration in a sliding way, wherein the tubular body is provided with an open longitudinal slit (3) extending from said proximal end (2a) to said distal end (2b), and wherein said distal end is provided with a distal semi-tubular rounded extension (2c).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a prosthesis (1) for repairing an inguinal hernia defect comprising: a piece (2) of biocompatible material having a preformed three-dimensional shape, including: a first portion (3) forming a partial spherical cap surface (8) shaped and dimensioned so as to substantially conform to the shape of the anterior abdominal wall, a second portion (4) extending from an inferior edge of said first portion and forming a wavy-shaped wall (9), shaped and dimensioned so as to substantially conform to the shape of the psoas muscle, characterized in that said piece (2) further comprises: a third portion (5) forming an arched part (10) extending longitudinally in the inferior direction from a medial inferior corner (3a) of said first portion, said arched part extending radially substantially in the front direction, said third portion being intended to face the medial inferior area of the inguinal anatomy.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for forming a barbed suture (10) comprising: a) producing a knit by knitting together i) a set of chain stitch yarns (1) 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 (6), 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 (9) of the barbed suture and the monofilament cuts (7) extending from said weft stitches of said one weft stitched chain stitch forming the barbs (8) of said barbed suture.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a prosthetic knit based on at least a first yarn of biocompatible polymer material defining first and second opposite and openwork faces, and on at least a second biocompatible and heat-fusible monofilament yarn, forming barbs that protrude outwards from at least said first face and are obtained by melting loops generated by said second yarn, the chart followed for the knitting of said first and second yarns on a warp knitting machine having three guide bars B1, B2, B3 being the following, according to the ISO 11676 standard:—Bar B1: 1.0/0.1//—Bar B2: 1.0/7.7/6.6/7.7//—Bar B3: 2.1/5.5/3.4/0.0// said second yarn following the chart of bar B3. The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing such a knit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an openwork prosthetic knit (1) made from a single piece based on first yarns of biocompatible polymer materials that define a first face (2) and a second face that are opposite one another and on a second biocompatible yarn that generates barbs (3) that protrude outwards from at least said first face, characterized in that said first face comprises at least one zone in which it is provided with said barbs and at least one zone (5) in which it is free of such barbs. It also relates to a process for manufacturing such a knit (1) and to a prosthesis comprising such a knit (1).
