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 delivery tool insert configured to be received within the 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.
Claims13
A two-piece implantable sheet delivery device comprising:
- a delivery tool including an elongate body extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the elongate body including a lumen extending therethrough and a pair of windows defined in a sidewall of the elongate body, the pair of windows configured to allow access to the lumen from outside of the elongate body, and,
- a delivery tool insert configured to be received within the lumen of the elongate body, the delivery tool insert including a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a pair of resilient arms extending therebetween, the pair of resilient arms configured to extend through the pair of windows when aligned therewith, wherein the two-piece implantable sheet delivery device is configured to transition between a restrained configuration and an expanded configuration.
A surgical kit for hemia repair comprising:
- a mesh delivery too including an elongate body extending between a proximal end portion and distal end portion, the elongate body including a lumen extending therethrough and at least one window defined in a sidewall of the elongate body, the window configured to allow access to the lumen from a side of the elongate body,
- a delivery tool insert configured to be received within the lumen of the elongate body, the delivery tool insert including a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and at least one resilient arm extending therebetween, the at least one resilient arm configured to extend through the at least one window when aligned therewith, and an implantable sheet including a first and second opposite face.
A method of preparing a rolled sheet-tool-insert assembly comprising:
- combining an implantable sheet, a central stitch, and a delivery tool to form a sheet-tool assembly, the delivery tool including an elongate body extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the elongate body including a lumen extending therethrough and at least one window defined in a sidewall of the elongate body, the window configured to allow access to the lumen from a side of the elongate body,
- preparing a rolled sheet-tool assembly from the sheet-tool assembly by using a rolling device,
- inserting a delivery tool insert into the lumen of the delivery tool to form a rolled sheet-tool-insert assembly, the delivery tool insert including a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and at least one resilient arm extending therebetween, the at least one resilient arm configured to extend through the at least one window when aligned therewith.
