Abstract: A surgical implant (1) comprises a flexible, areal basic structure (2) having a first face (3) and a second face (4) and being provided with pores (6) extending from the first face (3) to the second face (4). An absorbable film layer (10) is placed at the first face (3) of the basic structure (2), is attached to the basic structure (2) and has an outer face (12) facing away from the basic structure (2). An absorbable marker (20) is attached to the outer face (12) of the film layer (10), wherein the marker (20) is adapted to indicate an upside/downside orientation of the outer face (12) of the film layer (10) and to indicate a center area of the basic structure (2).

Abstract: An acellular matrix glue and a method of making is disclosed. Specifically, an acellular matrix glue that is useful in preparing a reinforced acellular matrix for medical applications including tissue engineering and hernia repair.

Abstract: An incision guide and wound closure device includes a surgical mesh having a top surface and a bottom surface, and first and second incision guides affixed to the top surface of the surgical mesh. The bottom surface of the mesh is adhered to tissue using clear or translucent adhesive. The first and second incision guides have opposing alignment surfaces that are adapted to guide a cutting instrument for making an incision through the mesh and into the tissue. The device has a closing element that is moveable along the length of the respective first and second incision guides for drawing the first and second alignment surfaces toward one another for closing the incision opening in the tissue.
