Embodiment Construction

[0060] figure 1 Represents a hernia defect 100 of the abdominal wall 101 characterized by disruption of the continuity of the aponeurosis 102 around the rectus muscle 103 and the passage through the peritoneum 104 forming a sac (hernia sac 105 which contains fat (omentum) or part internal organs 106 ), and the capsule is then pressed against the fat tissue 107 and flush with the skin 108 . One treatment of the hernia defect 100 entails replacing and preserving the internal organs 106 in the abdominal cavity 109 .

[0061] figure 2 is shown after the surgeon has made incisions in the skin 108, abdominal wall 101 and peritoneum 104 and reduced the hernia sac from figure 1 The hernia defect 100. exist figure 2 Viscera are not shown in : they have been pushed back into the abdominal cavity 109 . The surgeon now has to introduce the prosthesis for strengthening the abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity 109 via the already made incision 110 before closing the incision 110 ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a prosthesis (200) comprising: one mesh (1) delimited by a peripheral exterior edge (1a), and a frame (2) fastened to said mesh and adopting the shape of said peripheral exterior edge of the mesh, said frame being set back from said peripheral exterior edge and being provided with two hinge points (3a, 3b), the line passing through said two hinge points also passing through the centre (1b) of the mesh and thus forming a line M for folding the mesh in two. The prosthesis is characterized by further comprising at least two anchor pieces (5) made of suturable material and located on a single face of the mesh (1) on either side of said folding line, each piece having a fixed part (5a) linked to said mesh and a free part (5b), said free part being linked to at least one thread-shaped element (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a prosthesis, eg for repairing a hernia, comprising a mesh and means for reinforcing the mesh. Background technique [0002] The human abdominal wall is composed of fat and muscles interconnected by aponeurosis. A break in continuity may occur in the aponeurotic layer, allowing part of the peritoneum to pass through and form a sac containing fat or part of the bowel, known as a hernia. Hernias or abdominal ruptures (hernias occurring on surgical scars of the cavity wall) are manifested by protrusions on the skin surface and they are for example called umbilical hernias or inguinal hernias or abdominal ruptures due to their location. [0003] To repair hernias, surgeons often install synthetic mesh prostheses, which replace or reinforce weakened anatomical tissue. [0004] However, the efficacy of a restoration is largely dependent on proper fixation of the restoration, thereby minimizing the risk of recurrence. In particular, ...
