Abstract
The present disclosure describes kits for surgical repair of soft tissue defects, including hernias. The kits include any combination of components selected from an implantable sheet, at least one loop tie, a delivery tool, a positioner, a rolling device, and a insertion member. Packaging for the kits and/or components and methods of using the kits and/or components are also provided.
Claims16
A surgical kit for hernia repair comprising:
- an implantable sheet;
- a flexible delivery tool including an elongate body extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion of the delivery tool including a first magnetic member and the distal end portion of the delivery tool including a second magnetic member;
- and,
- a positioner including a handle extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion of the positioner, the proximal end portion including a first magnetic member and the distal end portion including a second magnetic member.

A delivery tool comprising:
- a flexible rod including an elongate body extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion including a first magnetic member and a first loop tie slot and the distal end portion of the delivery tool including a second magnetic member and a second loop tie slot.
A method of repairing a ventral hernia comprising:
- combining an implantable sheet, one or more loop ties, and a delivery tool to form a sheet-tool assembly, wherein the one or more loop ties secures the delivery tool to the implantable sheet,
- preparing the sheet-tool assembly for insertion into a patient by combining the sheet-tool assembly with a rolling device and an insertion member to form a rolled sheet-tool assembly,
- inserting the rolled sheet-tool assembly into a cavity of patient via a trocar using at least one of the rolling device or the insertion member,
- positioning a positioner including a first and second magnetic member on an outer surface of the patient's body directly above the cavity, the first and second magnetic members of the positioner magnetically engaging the first and second magnetic members of the delivery tool inside the cavity to secure the implantable sheet therebetween and beneath the hernia;
- deploying and fixating the implantable sheet to tissue surrounding the hernia;
- removing the positioner from the outer surface of the patient's body;
- freeing the delivery tool from the implantable sheet by removing the one or more loop ties from the implantable sheet, the delivery tool, or both;
- and
- withdrawing the delivery tool from the patient.
