Abstract: A surgical implant comprises an areal, flexible, mesh-like basic structure (2) including a knitted fabric made in gallon crotcheting technique, in which mesh pores (4) are formed from chains (10) made in closed pillar stitch. Adjacent chains (11, 11?) are connected to each other, by at least one inlaying weft thread (16, 18), in sections forming a respective common side (12) of two adjacent mesh pores (14, 14?). The inlaying weft thread (16, 18), in the region of said common side (12), runs in at least three loop courses (17, 17?, 17?, 19, 19?, 19?).

Abstract: A surgical implant adapted for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect comprises an areal, flexible basic structure which defines a primary region and at least one arm starting from the primary region and having a free end and an end area extending up to the free end. The arm is folded back and fixed (e.g. welded, sutured or glued), in its end area, to the primary region of the basic structure. Preferably, the basic structure is made from one piece and comprises a mesh.

Abstract: A surgical implant comprises a basic structure having a first face and a resorbable film attached to the first face of the basic structure. A plurality of solid protrusions emerges from the film in a direction away from the basic structure. The protrusions comprise a shape defined by a respective body and a respective head, the body emerging from the film and terminating in the head, and the head projecting laterally with respect to the body.

Abstract: A surgical implant (1) comprises a basic structure (2) having a first face (4) and a resorbable film (6) attached to the first face (4) of the basic structure (2). A plurality of solid protrusions (8) emerges from the film (6) in a direction away from the basic structure (2). The protrusions (8) comprise a shape defined by a respective body and a respective head, the body emerging from the film (6) and terminating in the head, and the head projecting laterally with respect to the body.

Abstract: A surgical implant (1) adapted for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect comprises an outer section (8) and an inner section (6) located in the outer section (8), wherein the outer section (8) and the inner section (6) are formed from one double-sheet of a flexible basic structure, which preferably comprises a mesh. The implant can be strengthened by reinforcement elements (12).

Abstract: A surgical implant (1) adapted for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect comprises an a real, flexible basic structure which defines a primary region (4) and at least one arm (6) starting from the primary region (4) and having a free end and an end area extending up to the free end. The arm (6) is folded back and fixed (e.g. welded, sutured or glued), in its end area, to the primary region (4) of the basic structure. Preferably, the basic structure (4, 6) is made from one piece and comprises a mesh.

Abstract: The treatment of painful intervertebral disc diseases attempts to counteract degeneration. On the one hand artificial nucleus pulposus prostheses are being developed, and on the other hand regenerative therapy methods using biomaterials in the intervertebral disc are being pursued. In both cases, massive herniation of the materials may occur as a result of existing annulus defects or annulus defects which have been enlarged because of surgical access. In light of this, the reliable closure and the regeneration of the annulus fibrosus are an important prerequisite and further development for treating herniated intervertebral discs and degenerative herniated intervertebral discs. According to the invention, an implant having a sandwich structure is used, wherein a reinforcing structure is arranged between a two-layer non-woven and the non-woven comprises in particular a biocompatible material.
