Patent number: 11464615Abstract: A deployment device for positioning a soft tissue repair prosthesis includes a self-expanding support body releasably attachable to the prosthesis. The support body may be removably insertable into a pocket of the prosthesis. A handle coupled to the support body facilitates positioning the patch and/or removal of the support body from the pocket. The support body may substantially occupy the pocket in an expanded configuration. The handle may be arranged to direct a pulling force to the outer peripheral edge of the support body and/or cause a portion thereof to be pulled downward and below the body during withdrawal of the deployment device from the prosthesis. The support body may include support segments pivotally coupled together and foldable to collapse the support body for insertion into and removal from the pocket. One or more resilient support members may be provided for collapsing and expanding the support body and the prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: C.R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Griffin, Augustus Felix, John Conidi, Chris Bowley, Marcus Stephen Papadopoulos, Daniel Joseph Greene
