Abstract
A pre-rolled surgical mesh which allows its insertion to the abdominal cavity and having a comfortable lead and spread to a proper location. The pre-rolled mesh is double rolled from two opposite directions one toward the other. There is a device that holds, leads, releases and spreads the mesh in its proper location, related to the Hernia defect, and includes an element holds the double-rolled mesh, and allows its releasing; another element allows the spreading of the double-rolled mesh; additional element allows the leading and locating of the double-rolled mesh. A second shape assumed when spreading the mesh, as the center of the mesh matches the desired location, while the elements, which held and spread each side of the double rolled mesh had been released.
Claims18
A surgical placement device for placing a surgical mesh structure, comprising:
- a positioning element;
- at least one self-straightening element mounted on said positioning element and includes at least one arm, said at least one arm is removably attached to a surgical mesh structure which is rolled with the at least one self-straightening element in a collapsed state within, wherein the at least one self-straightening element is adapted to self-straighten so as to spread and deploy the surgical mesh while being fully inserted in the subject;
- and
- at least one holding element adapted for preventing the self straightening of the at least one self-straightening element, wherein neutralization of the at least one holding element releases a force in the at least one self-straightening element in the collapsed state;
- and
- wherein said at least one holding element is operative for maintaining said rolled surgical mesh structure rolled with the at least one self-straightening element in said collapsed state within before activated and to allow deployment of said rolled surgical mesh structure when activated.
