Patent number: 11141256Abstract: A prosthesis for repairing a hernia defect includes a patch body, a hoisting frame releasably attachable to the patch body, and a tether attached to the hoisting frame with a free end extendable through the thickness of the patch body and accessible from the side of the patch body opposite to where the hoisting frame is releasably attached. The patch body and/or the hoisting frame includes a self-expanding support member. The hoisting frame includes a frame body with an outer frame component and a force translation component for directing pulling forces on the tether across the frame body. The outer frame component has a loop configuration to generally follow the patch periphery with overlapping end portions or a gap between free ends thereof. The force translation component is separable into multiple segments to facilitate withdrawal of the hoisting frame through an opening when released from the patch.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: C.R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Augustus Felix, Jason Hamilton, John Conidi, Matthew Rothberg, Aaron Abroff, Amy Loomis, Donald E. Ziniti
