Abstract
The invention relates to a prosthetic implant (1) for suburethral support comprising a suburethral support element (3) of elongate form that extends longitudinally between a first end (3A) and a second end (3B), said first end (3A) at least having first and second opposite faces (4), said implant (1) being characterized in that said suburethral support element (3) comprises at least a first gusset (11), which projects from the side of said first face (4) of the first end (3A), and a second gusset (12), which projects from the side of said second face (5) of the first end (3A), said first and second gussets (11, 12) being designed to fasten said first end (3A) within biological tissues of the patient. Prosthetic implants.
Claims20
A prosthetic implant for suburethral support comprising a suburethral supporting element of elongate shape extending longitudinally between a first and a second end, said first end at least having a first and a second opposite face, said implant being characterized in that said suburethral supporting element comprises at least a first gusset that protrudes from the side of said first face of the first end and a second gusset that protrudes from the side of said second face of the first end, said first and second gussets being designed to hook said first end into the biological tissues of the patient.
A method for manufacturing a suburethral supporting prosthetic implant comprising a step of manufacturing or of supplying a suburethral supporting element of elongate shape extending longitudinally between a first and a second end, said first end at least having a first and a second opposite face, said method being characterized in that it comprises a step of adjoining to said suburethral supporting element a first gusset that protrudes from the side of said first face of the first end and a second gusset that protrudes from the side of said second face of the first end, said first and second gussets being designed to hook said first end into the biological tissues of the patient.
A prosthetic implant for use with a patient, the prosthetic implant comprising:
- a suburethral supporting element having an elongate shape extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end, the first end at least having first and second opposing faces, said suburethral supporting element comprising:
- at least a first gusset that protrudes from the side of the first face of the first end of said suburethral supporting element;
- and
- a second gusset that protrudes from the side of the second face of the first end of said suburethral supporting element, said first and second gussets being designed to couple the first end of said suburethral supporting element into biological tissues of the patient.
A method for manufacturing a suburethral supporting prosthetic implant for use with a patient, the method comprising:
- supplying a suburethral supporting element of elongate shape extending longitudinally between a first and a second end, the first end of the suburethral supporting element at least having first and second opposing faces;
- adjoining a first gusset to a first one of the first and second opposing faces of said suburethral supporting element such that the first gusset protrudes from the first one of the first and second opposing faces of the first end of the suburethral supporting element, the first gusset having a shape configured to hook the first end of the suburethral supporting element into biological tissue of the patient;
- and
- adjoining a second gusset to a second one of the first and second opposing faces of said suburethral supporting element such that the second gusset protrudes from the second one of the first and second opposing faces of the first end of the suburethral supporting element, the second gusset having a shape configured to hook the first end of the suburethral supporting element into biological tissue of the patient.
