Publication number: 20230000607Abstract: An implantable prosthesis for repairing or augmenting anatomical defects, including an inguinal hernia. The prosthesis may include a repair fabric having a body portion and a pocket on one side of the body portion to facilitate deployment and/or placement of the prosthesis at the defect site. For some applications, such as a reversible prosthesis, a second pocket may be provided on the opposite side of the body portion. Each pocket may be configured to receive a sufficient length of one or more fingers of an individual for deploying and/or positioning the prosthesis. A support member may be provided to help deploy the repair fabric at the surgical site and/or help inhibit folding or buckling of the repair fabric.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: C.R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Tami L. Rathbun, Kathleen Corcoran, Marianne Staudenmeier

Patent number: 9072586Abstract: An implantable prosthesis is provided for repairing an anatomical defect, such as a tissue or muscle defect, that promotes tissue of muscle ingrowth into the prosthesis and subsequently strengthens the area of the defect. The prosthesis is easy to manipulate and may be designed to minimize the incidence of postoperative adhesions between a portion of the prosthesis and surrounding tissue or organs. The prosthesis may include one or more layers of biologically compatible material that is suitable for repairing a defect. The prosthesis may include a support assembly to facilitate manipulation and deployment of the prosthesis. The support assembly may include a stiffening member that is surrounded by material that separates the stiffening member from the layer of material. The stiffening member may be located in a sleeve of material, such as mesh fabric. The stiffening member may be formed from a resorbable material.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: C.R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Debra J. Ranucci, Tami L. Hamlin, Philip A. Tessier, Marianne Staudenmeier, Damian H. Tomlin

Publication number: 20110288568Abstract: An implantable prosthesis for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect. The prosthesis includes a perforated sheet of a biologically compatible material to cover the tissue or muscle wall defect. The perforated sheet has a plurality of perforations extending through the sheet. The perforations may be distributed across the perforated sheet in a non-grid arrangement. The perforations may be non-uniformly distributed across the perforated sheet in groups of perforations arranged in a plurality of concentric circular patterns. Each perforation may be separated from an adjacent perforation by a web of material having a length between adjacent perforations that is a predetermined multiple of the diameter of the perforations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: November 24, 2011Inventors: Thomas J. Capuzziello, Marianne Staudenmeier, Michael A. Cote, Brian Leach
