TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical products, and particularly relates to a pelvic floor patch and a weaving method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) refers to a series of diseases caused by damage or degeneration of pelvic support structures such as pelvic floor muscle groups and ligaments, resulting in displacement and dysfunction of pelvic organs. Its main manifestations are pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI), fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, etc. At present, PFD has become one of the most common chronic diseases affecting women's health and quality of life. The pathogenesis of PFD is closely related to the anatomical structure of the female pelvis. Hormone secretion, pregnancy, childbirth, aging, constipation, obesity and many other factors can cause the disease, and the most common clinical manifestations are POP and SUI.
[0003] At present, severe PDF requires surgical treatment. Traditional surgical methods such as transvaginal hysterectomy and Manchester operation are mainly based on "resection-repair", which has certain limitations and is not suitable for patients with sexual and reproductive needs, and cannot fundamentally restore the pelvic anatomy. The postoperative symptom relief effect gradually weakens, and the recurrence rate is high. With the continuous in-depth research of scholars on the anatomy of the pelvic floor, the "three-chamber, three-level" theory, the hammock hypothesis and the pelvic floor whole theory have promoted many surgical treatment methods for the front, middle and back chambers and the whole pelvic cavity. Pelvic floor repair and reconstruction surgery by implanting patches or sling materials has also emerged.
[0004] In recent years, with the continuous improvement of modern pelvic floor theory and the rapid development of patch-related material science, the application and research of patches in the field of pelvic floor repair and reconstruction have become increasingly important. The current principles of pelvic floor repair and reconstruction surgery mainly follow the "3R" principle: to restore and maintain the anatomical structure (retain), to repair and reinforce the defective tissue (repair), and to reasonably apply replacement materials (replacement). According to the characteristics of the pelvic floor structure and function, Ridder proposed in his research in the early 21st century that the implanted repair and reconstruction materials should have the following characteristics in the ideal state: ① minimal rejection reaction; ② flexible and elastic; ③ easy to suture; ④ good biocompatibility; ⑤ allow collagen fibers to grow in; ⑥ permanently repair the tissue; ⑦ good tension; ⑧ less likely to cause infection; ⑨ fewer complications.
[0005] Compared with the traditional operation, the implantation of the patch type pelvic floor repair and reconstruction operation is more beneficial to the recovery and maintenance of the pelvic floor anatomical structure. The pelvic patch can replace the damaged tissue of the pelvic floor and promote tissue regeneration, and promote the recovery of the function of the pelvic floor organs.
[0006] The pelvic floor patch in the prior art is heavy and has poor softness. Meanwhile, the mesh size of the pelvic patch is not appropriate. Too large or too small mesh size is not conducive to the recovery of human tissue growth. After the operation, the foreign body sensation is strong, which increases the risk of infection and reduces the comfort of the patient. SUMMARY

[0010] Further, the density of the mesh is 1.5 / cm to 3 / cm.

[0012] The weaving method of the pelvic floor patch according to any one of the above, uses polypropylene monofilament as the weaving yarn, and adopts the warp knitting weaving technology to weave;
[0013] Four guide bars are used for weaving, and the pattern cycle is eight rows;
[0014] The first guide bar weaves back and forth on one needle to form a chain stitch structure;
[0015] The second guide bar and the third guide bar both use chain stitch padding combined with warp pile padding, and weave back and forth on three needles. The second guide bar and the third guide bar cooperate with each other to form a quadrilateral mesh structure of a rhombus shape;
[0016] The fourth guide bar is a weft insertion guide bar.
[0017] Further, polypropylene monofilament with a diameter of 0.08mm to 0.2mm is selected as the weaving yarn, four guide bars are used for weaving on a four-guide raschel warp knitting machine, and the pattern cycle is eight rows;
[0018] The first guide bar weaves back and forth on one needle to form a closed chain stitch structure;
[0019] The second and third guide bars adopt chain filling and warp pile filling, and the second and third guide bars cooperate to form a quadrilateral mesh structure similar to a rhombus.
[0020] The fourth guide bar is changed to a five-needle pitch weft.
[0021] Further,
[0022] The filling number of the first guide bar is (1-0 / 0-1) x 4 / / , the filling number of the second guide bar is 1-0 / 2-3 / 3-2 / 3-2 / 4-5 / 3-2 / 2-3 / 2-3 / / , the filling number of the third guide bar is 4-5 / 3-2 / 2-3 / 2-3 / 1-0 / 2-3 / 3-2 / 3-2 / / , and the filling number of the fourth guide bar is (0-0 / 5-5) x 4 / / .
[0023] Further, polypropylene monofilament with a diameter of 0.08mm-0.2mm is selected as the weaving yarn, and four guide bars are used for weaving on a four-guide bar warp knitting machine, and the pattern cycle is eight wefts.
[0024] The first guide bar is back and forth on one needle to form an open chain structure.
[0025] The second and third guide bars adopt chain filling and warp pile filling, and the second and third guide bars cooperate to form a quadrilateral mesh structure similar to a rhombus.
[0026] The fourth guide bar is changed to a five-needle pitch weft.
[0027] Further,
[0028] The filling number of the first guide bar is (1-0 / 0-1) x 4 / / , the filling number of the second guide bar is 1-0 / 2-3 / 3-2 / 3-2 / 4-5 / 3-2 / 2-3 / 2-3 / / , the filling number of the third guide bar is 4-5 / 3-2 / 2-3 / 2-3 / 1-0 / 2-3 / 3-2 / 3-2 / / , and the filling number of the fourth guide bar is (0-0 / 5-5) x 4 / / .
