The present disclosure relates to implantable medical devices which include grip-members and methods of reinforcing tissue with such devices.
Claims20
An implantable medical device for supporting tissue comprising:
- a first surgical mesh having a planar configuration and including a first top surface including a plurality of first filamentary grip-members and a first bottom surface including a plurality of second filamentary grip-members;
- a second surgical mesh having a planar configuration and including a second top surface including a plurality of third filamentary grip-members and a second bottom surface including a plurality of fourth filamentary grip-members, wherein the first bottom surface of the first surgical mesh is attached to the second top surface of the second surgical mesh via the second and third filamentary grip-members;
- and
- a third surgical mesh having a planar configuration and including a third top surface including a plurality of fifth filamentary grip-members and a third bottom surface including a plurality of sixth filamentary grip-members, wherein the first and third surgical mesh are vertically staggered and the second and third surgical mesh are horizontally aligned in the same plane.

An implantable medical device for supporting tissue comprising:
- a first substrate having a first top surface including a plurality of first grip-members and a first bottom surface including a plurality of second grip-members;
- and
- a second substrate having a second top surface including a plurality of third grip-members, a second bottom surface including a plurality of fourth grip-members and a second side surface between the second top surface and the second bottom surface, wherein the first bottom surface of the first substrate is attached to the second top surface of the second substrate via the second and third grip-members
- a third substrate having a third top surface including a plurality of fifth grip-members and a third bottom surface including a plurality of sixth grip-members, wherein the third top surface of the third substrate is attached to at least one of the first or second substrates, wherein the second substrate further includes second side grip-members positioned along the second side surface of the second substrate, wherein the second side grip-members connect the second side surface of the second substrate to at least one of the third substrate or tissue.
