Abstract
The invention relates to a method for forming a prosthetic base knit (1) made of two parallel sheets of porous knits, namely a first sheet (2) of porous knit and a second sheet of porous knit, said two parallel sheets being joined together in a discrete manner by a plurality of connecting porous knits (4) spaced apart from each other. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing H-shaped prostheses for hernia repair from said base knit thus obtained and to the prostheses obtained therefrom.
Claims21
An H-shaped prosthesis suitable for hernia repair, said H-shaped prosthesis comprising an underlay layer, an onlay layer, and a connector, said underlay layer, onlay layer and connector being formed as an unitary knitted structure, wherein a length and width of each of the underlay layer and the onlay layer are independent of a length and width of said connector in a plane of said layer, the length and width of the connector in the plane of one layer being independent of the length and width of said layer in said plane.
An H-shaped prosthesis suitable for hernia repair, said H-shaped prosthesis comprising an underlay layer, an onlay layer, and a connector, said underlay layer, onlay layer and connector being formed as an unitary knitted structure, wherein the underlay layer, the onlay layer, or both are configured to be twisted in a direction that may differ from an initial orientation.
