Abstract
A prosthetic implant for obturating an anatomical duct, cavity or orifice, has a porous textile element obtained from a prosthetic fabric, having a flat and nongathered up configuration in the shape of a patch with a continuous outer edge or periphery. The implant has at least two radial elements extending and distributed around a central zone free from any radial element. The radial element centripetally stresses the remaining periphery of the textile element. A peripheral zone having radial elements is comprised of at least two superimposed panels of prosthetic fabric. The radial elements are in the shape of textile strips and consist of a multiplicity of stitches linking the two panels with at least one thread.

A prosthetic implant for obturating an anatomical duct, cavity or orifice, comprising:
- a porous textile element obtained from a prosthetic fabric, having a flat and nongathered up configuration in the shape of a patch with a continuous outer edge, said textile element comprising a central zone and a peripheral zone, said peripheral zone comprising at least two superposed panels of prosthetic fabric and at least two radial elements of textile strip shape consisting of a multiplicity of stitches linking said two panels with at least one thread, said central zone being free from said radial elements, wherein said radial elements determine, by local thrust in said central zone while centripetally stressing the remaining periphery of said textile element, a configuration gathered up in volume.
