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, a central tie, a delivery tool, a rolling device, and an 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 having a central tie passing therethrough, the central tie forming a tie loop extending from a bottom side of the implantable sheet and a tie handle positioned on a top side of the implantable sheet, and
- a flexible delivery tool including an elongate body extending between a shaped proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the distal end portion including a clip attachment configured to secure a portion of the sheet within the distal end portion of the delivery tool.
A package for a surgical kit comprising:
- a base including an area configured to receive an implantable sheet;
- and
- a first channel formed in the base below the area configured to receive the implantable sheet and extending beyond the area configured to receive the implantable sheet, the first channel configured to receive a flexible sheet delivery tool, wherein the first channel widens on a proximal end thereof to form a mouth;
- and
- a recess formed in the base and crossing over the first channel, the recess further including at least one finger engagement recess on each side of the first channel, optionally wherein the base includes an incline in the area configured to receive the implantable sheet, optionally wherein the first channel is a gutter configured to prevent direct contact between the implantable sheet and flexible sheet delivery tool prior to use, optionally further comprising a second channel configured to receive a sheet rolling device configured to wrap the implantable sheet around the flexible sheet delivery tool and a third channel configured to receive an insertion member, the second and third channels formed in a portion of the base beyond the area configured to receive the implantable sheet.

A sheet delivery tool comprising:
- a flexible rod including an elongate body extending between a shaped proximal end portion and a distal end portion including a suture aperture defined therethrough and configured to receive a suture, and a sheet attachment clip, the sheet attachment clip positioned proximal to the suture aperture and including a slot defined within the distal end portion and extending longitudinally along a length of the distal end portion.
A method of repairing a ventral hernia comprising:
- combining an implantable sheet, a central tie, and a delivery tool to form a sheet-tool assembly,
- preparing the sheet-tool assembly for insertion into a patient by using a rolling device and an insertion member to form a rolled sheet-tool assembly,
- inserting the rolled sheet-tool assembly into a patient via a trocar using both the rolling device and the insertion member,
- deploying the sheet inside the patient,
- positioning and fixating the sheet inside the patient, and
- withdrawing the delivery tool from the patient.
