Abstract: An implementation of a mesh pouch includes a mesh wall that defines an enclosure having an opening at an end. The mesh pouch further includes a drawstring configured to close the opening when drawn so as to prevent the surgical implant from leaving the enclosure. The mesh pouch may further include a mesh tab extending from the mesh wall, the mesh tab providing a surface for suturing the mesh pouch to an inner surface of the patient's body. The mesh pouch may further include a strand extending from the mesh wall and a needle attached to a terminus of the strand. The strand may be configured to tighten the mesh wall around the surgical implant when pulled.

Abstract: A mesh implant for lifting or restraining a body part includes filament strands (e.g., monofilaments) braided together into a tubular configuration that is hollow along a longitudinal axis and anchors (e.g., barbs) extending from the filament strands along their length, wherein the anchors are configured to anchor onto tissue of the body part. In one implementation, a first end of the mesh implant is closed and a second end has a needle attached thereto (e.g., via a monofilament strand, which may or may not have anchors along it).
