Abstract
A prosthetic repair fabric including a sheet of tissue infiltratable fabric and a second sheet, also preferably including tissue infiltratable fabric, which is united with the first sheet. The second sheet is fused to an adhesion resistant barrier, forming a laminate composite prosthesis without degrading the mechanical properties or tissue ingrowith capability of the first sheet.
Claims15
A prosthetic repair fabric, comprising:
- a dual layer, biologically compatible and implantable fabric including a first sheet with interstices constructed and arranged for tissue infiltration and which is susceptible to the formation of adhesions with sensitive tissue and organs and a second sheet that is joined directly to said first sheet;
- and
- a barrier sheet that is resistant to the formation of adhesions with sensitive tissue and organs and which is overlaid and in contact with said second sheet, wherein at least a surface portion of said second sheet adjacent said barrier is fused to said barrier without degrading the physical characteristics of said first sheet.
