Abstract: The invention relates to a surgical instrument (2) that is used to implant a sub-urethral/cervical support. The invention is characterised in that it comprises at least one band (32) and two anchoring devices (2). Each of said anchoring devices (2) comprises a needle (10), the point of which supports a flexible anchoring element (22). Each of the aforementioned flexible anchoring elements (22) is connected to one end of the band (32) and each of said elements can be folded back along the length of the needle (10) when the needle is being passed through the biological tissues and subsequently deployed when said needle has cleared the tissues.

Abstract: A subcutaneous prosthesis for mammaplasty repair comprising a netting having a generally circular shape with a V shaped opening extending from its center. The prosthesis having a metallic reinforcing wire that extends around the periphery of the circular netting. The ends of the reinforcing wire being maintained in position by a blocking piece. When the prosthesis is deployed, by tightening the reinforcing wire the prosthesis can be formed into a conical shape suitable for mammary repair.

Abstract: The invention concerns a prosthesis obturating device to obturate a hernial canal comprising, a part (1) made of sheet material for extending through the hernial canal and being characterized in that this first part is extended, at its end that is to be adjacent to the hernial cavity, inside this hernial cavity, by a second part, also made of sheet material and for covering the internal orifice of the hernial canal.

Abstract: A prosthesis to obturate a hernial canal includes a first part made of surgical material and configured in such a way as to deform under the effect of intra-abdominal pressure, to oppose such pressure elastically and to spread the force at the hernial canal over a portion of the inside face of the wall of a hernial cavity; and a second part for positioning in contact with the inside face of the wall of the hernial cavity and positioned annularly about the first part, whereby force exerted at the hernial canal is spread over a portion of the inside wall of the hernial cavity via the second part.
