  • Patent number: 7819897
    Abstract: A fastener including at least an element to be anchored in an anatomical support, at least a stop element relative to a planar prosthetic component to be fixed, and a linking rod is characterised in that the linking rod is rectilinear and the junction zones of the anchoring element and the stop element with the linking rod enable the fastener to adopt: a non-stressed stripping configuration; a maximum stress configuration, doubled up on itself, for example in a tubular configuration by complete insertion of the fastener into a tube, and a minimum stress configuration, wherein the respective directions of the stop element and the anchoring element form between them, for example in the same plane, an angle not greater than 90°.

  • Patent number: 7021086
    Abstract: The invention concerns a fabric made with biocompatible material filaments, shaped like an open-mesh unblocked weave forming, in the laps constituting, respectively the front (AV) and rear (AR) walls of the fabric, substantially polygonal cells providing the fabric at least in two perpendicular directions with substantially balanced dynamometric behavior, said laps in the front and rear walls being linked by a bracing. The invention is characterized in that the bracing is provided by monofilaments of one of the laps forming one of the walls (AV and AR) of the reinforcement, each of said monofilaments forming, after a constant number of rows of meshes in its lap, a mesh (M) with one of the meshes (m3) of one of the laps of the other wall (AR and AV) of the fabric.

  • Patent number: 6575897
    Abstract: The device comprises at least one filiform suspension cord, made of nonabsorbable material and with limited elasticity, and at least two anchoring parts connected to the ends of this cord; these anchoring parts are made of sheet material, having a flexible and openworked structure, capable of adapting to the configuration of the respective implantation walls, and said parts are intended to be fixed to these same walls by appropriate means, such as suturing or stapling, and then to be incorporated in these walls by regrowth of tissue through them.

  • Patent number: 6408656
    Abstract: This knit is produced on the basis of a biocompatible polymer material monofilament, whose pattern is defined by a front lap and a rear lap of yarns knitted together and determines a plurality of cells each having a substantially polygonal shape. The pattern gives the knit a multidirectional tensile behavior such as obtained by a front lap capable of being obtained by knitting according to a scheme 5-4/4-3/2-1/0-1/1-2/3-4 and by a rear lap capable of being obtained by knitting according to a scheme 0-1/1-2/3-4/5-4/4-3/2-1.

  • Patent number: 6391060
    Abstract: A prosthetic implant for obturating an anatomical duct, cavity or orifice, has a porous textile element obtained from a prosthetic fabric, having a flat and nongathered up configuration in the shape of a patch with a continuous outer edge or periphery. The implant has at least two radial elements extending and distributed around a central zone free from any radial element. The radial element centripetally stresses the remaining periphery of the textile element. A peripheral zone having radial elements is comprised of at least two superimposed panels of prosthetic fabric. The radial elements are in the shape of textile strips and consist of a multiplicity of stitches linking the two panels with at least one thread.
