Abstract
The present disclosure provides implants suitable for hernia or prolapse repair, the implants including an implantable web including a combination of laid yarns and threading yarns and optionally a substrate. Methods of making such implants are also provided.
Claims23
An implantable web for hernia repair comprising:
- a plurality of laid yarns and a plurality of threading yarns,
- the plurality of laid yarns including an axial yarn, a spiral yarn and a plurality of radial yarns, the axial yarn extending along a portion of a central longitudinal or transverse axis of the web, each radial yarn extending in a radial direction from the axial yarn towards an outer peripheral edge of the web, and the spiral yarn forming a loop around the axial yarn and extending between and crisscrossing over the plurality of radial yarns, and at least a first and a second threading yarn, wherein the first and second threading yarns are interwoven to each other to form locking stitches, the locking stitches positioned around at least two of the axial yarn, the radial yarns, or the spiral yarn to hold the axial yarn, the radial yarns, and spiral yarn in a position relative to each other to maintain the structure of the web.
An implantable web for hernia repair comprising:
- a plurality of laid yarns and a plurality of threading yarns, the plurality of laid yarns including a plurality of vertical yarns, horizontal yarns, diagonal yarns, and at least one spiral yarn, each spiral yarn forming a continuous loop around the central area of the web and extending between and crisscrossing over the plurality of vertical yarns, horizontal yarns, and diagonal yarns, and
- the plurality of threading yarns including at least a first and a second threading yarn, wherein the first and second threading yarns are interwoven to each other to form locking stitches, the locking stitches positioned around at least two of the laid yarns to hold the laid yarns in a position relative to each other to maintain the structure of the web.
An implantable web for hernia repair comprising:
- a plurality of laid yarns and a plurality of threading yarns,
- the plurality of laid yarns including a plurality of radial yarns, each radial yarn extending in a radial direction from a central area of the web to an outer peripheral edge of the web, and at least one spiral yarn, the spiral yarn forming a continuous loop around the central area of the web and extending between and crisscrossing over the plurality of radial yarns, wherein the central area of the web is a central aperture free of any laid and threading yarns, and
- the plurality of threading yarns including at least a first and a second threading yarn, wherein the first and second threading yarns are interwoven to each other to form locking stitches, the locking stitches positioned around the radial yarns and the spiral yarns to hold the radial yarns and spiral yarns in a position relative to each other to maintain the structure of the web.
