Embodiment approach

[0056] According to another embodiment of the invention, the characteristic may comprise contributing to a significant fibroblastic response in the host tissue. The tissue ingrowth biodegradable region 12 can be configured to favor a fibrogenic response, while the anti-adhesion biodegradable region 14 preferably does not induce a fibrogenic response. The assisting effect of the tissue ingrowth biodegradable region 12 on the fibrogenesis response may be based on one or more of the above characteristics (e.g., biodegradation time or rate affected by additives, biodegradation time or rate affected by polymer structure / composition , and polymer compositions that affect strength or structural integrity), because the biodegradable surgical prosthesis 10 needs to maintain its structure long enough for the tissue to be firmly fixed.

[0057] In one embodiment, the tissue ingrowth biodegradable region 12 of the present invention may comprise or consist of at least one outer layer which...

Abstract

A prosthesis for repairing a hernia includes an adhesion-resistant biodegradable region and an opposing tissue-ingrowth biodegradable region. When the prosthesis is implanted into the patient, the adhesion-resistant biodegradable region covers a fascial defect of the hernia, and the tissue-ingrowth biodegradable region is located above the adhesion-resistant biodegradable region while being exposed substantially only to the host's subcutaneous tissue layer. This orientation allows the tissue-ingrowth biodegradable region to become firmly incorporated with the host's body tissue. The adhesion-resistant biodegradable region faces the internal organs and decreases the incidence of adhesions and / or bowel obstruction.
