SOFRADIM PRODUCTION

The present invention relates to a bioresorbable prosthetic porous knit comprising an arrangement of yarns of bioresorbable biocompatible material defining at least two sides for said knit, said knit being provided, on one of its sides, with barbs protruding outwards from said one side, wherein each yarn of the arrangement defining said two sides is doubled. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a knit.

The present invention relates to a prosthesis ( 1 ) for hernia repair comprising a reinforcement layer ( 2 ), a first barrier layer ( 3 ) of anti-adhesion material covering at least a part of a surface of the reinforcement layer, and a second barrier layer of anti-adhesion material covering a remaining part of the surface of the reinforcement layer, the second barrier layer being formed of one or more flap member(s) ( 4 ).

Methods of forming implants suitable for hernia or prolapse repair are provided, the implants including an implantable web including a combination of laid yarns and threading yarns and optionally a substrate. The methods include at least laying one or more laid yarns and threading one or more thread yarns.

Prosthesis ( 1 ) comprising a patch ( 2 ) made of biocompatible material, said patch having a generally plane geometric shape that defines two opposite faces, a centre, a length and a width of said patch, characterized in that said patch is provided, on one ( 2 a ) of its faces, with a single marking means ( 3 ) designed to indicate both the centre (C) of the patch and also the longitudinal direction of said patch.

A prosthesis includes a piece of biocompatible material having a preformed three-dimensional shape including: a first portion forming a partial spherical cap surface, shaped and dimensioned so as to substantially conform to the shape of the anterior abdominal wall; a second portion extending from an inferior edge of the first portion and forming a wavy-shaped wall, shaped and dimensioned so as to substantially conform to the shape of the psoas muscle; and a corner portion extending from the first portion.

The present invention relates to a prosthesis ( 1 ) for the repair of an inguinal hernia, which prosthesis ( 1 ) is intended to be implanted by a posterior or open laparoscopic route and comprises: an openworked textile ( 2 ) made of biocompatible material, comprising a first face ( 2 a ) intended to be placed facing the biological tissues of the inguinal region, and a second face ( 2 b ) arranged opposite said first face and intended to be placed facing the peritoneum, said first face being provided with fastening means that are able to fix said textile in said biological tissues of the inguinal region, characterized in that at least a part of said second face ( 2 b ) is covered with a non-porous coating ( 7 ) composed of a material that is hydrosoluble at 37° C. and non-hydrosoluble at 25° C. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a prosthesis.

The invention relates to a prosthetic porous knit based on a monofilament of a biocompatible polymer material, the pattern followed for the knitting of said monofilament on a warp knitting machine having two guide bars B1, B2 being the following, according to the ISO 11676 standard: Bar B1: 1.2/4.5/4.3/4.5/4.3/1.0/1.2/1.0// Bar B2: 4.3/1.0/1.2/1.0/1.2/4.5/4.3/4.5// The invention further relates to a method for producing such a knit and to a hernia prosthesis comprising such a knit.

The present invention relates to a prosthesis ( 200 ) comprising: —one mesh ( 1 ) delimited by a peripheral exterior edge ( 1 a ), —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 ( 3 a, 3 b ), the line passing through said two hinge points also passing through the centre ( 1 b ) of the mesh and thus forming a line M for folding the mesh in two, characterized in that said prosthesis further comprises 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 ( 5 a ) linked to said mesh and a free part ( 5 b ), said free part being linked to at least one thread-shaped element ( 7 ).

In a surgical drain system formed with two or more branches, exudate flow from a patient's wound is directed between two branches with the respective filling and emptying times determined in order to identify the presence of a blockage in the drain.

The present invention relates to a device ( 10 ) for facilitating the implantation of a surgical mesh ( 1 ) having at least one barbed face ( 2 ), said device comprising: said surgical mesh ( 1 ), at least one biocompatible film ( 11, 11 a, 11 b ) shaped and dimensioned to at least partially cover said barbed face ( 2 ), at least one cable ( 12 ) arranged to removably attach said film ( 11, 11 a, 11 b ) to said barbed face ( 2 ) of said mesh ( 1 ).
