Patent number: 9636207Abstract: An implantable prosthesis for repairing or reinforcing a tissue or muscle wall defect including a first composite structure including at least one layer of a non-absorbable material, wherein the first composite structure has a central portion sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of the tissue or muscle wall defect, and has an outer periphery. The prosthesis further includes a second structure having a reinforced central region and an outer peripheral edge, a reinforcing element positioned between the first and second structures, and having an outer periphery and a stiffness greater than that of the first and second structures, and at least one pulling element coupled to the reinforced central region of the second structure. The second structure is coupled to the first structure substantially only at their respective peripheries.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: Robert A. Rousseau, David C. Lindh, Sr., John R. Jacobs, Ilya S. Koyfman, Gaoyuan Gavin Chen, Donald G. Hill

Patent number: 8409296Abstract: A substantially flat implant for repositioning a patient's eyebrow that may allow for a gradient lift across the eyebrow. The implant may be geometrically non-symmetrical, and/or may have non-symmetric physical properties. The implant may include a foot portion that extends along a first longitudinal axis and has a length, and a vertical strip portion that extends outwardly from the foot portion along a second longitudinal axis. The strip portion has a length and a width that is smaller than the length of the foot. The second longitudinal axis is offset from the center of the length of the foot portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: David Knize, Ilya S.
