Abstract
The present invention relates to a prosthesis (200) comprising:—at least one layer of a flexible mesh (1) delimited by a peripheral outer edge (1a), said mesh having a first color, and—at least one layer (2) of porous material fixed to said mesh substantially along the perimeter of said peripheral outer edge, said layer of porous material being recessed at its central part (4), said layer of porous material having a second color, different from said first color.
Claims22
A prosthesis comprising:
- at least one layer of a flexible mesh delimited by a peripheral outer edge, said mesh having a first color, and
- at least one layer of a porous material fixed to said mesh substantially along a perimeter of said peripheral outer edge, said layer of porous material including a recess at a central part, in such a way that said layer of porous material forms a skirt extending from the peripheral outer edge of the mesh, or from a point set slightly back from the peripheral outer edge, towards a center of the mesh, the skirt being substantially parallel to a plane of the mesh and including a succession of wider parts and narrower parts, the narrower parts indication corners of the peripheral outer edge and the wider parts indicating sides of the peripheral outer edge, said layer of porous material having a second color, different from said first color, wherein the first color and the second color generate a contrast of 50% to 100%, according to the scale of contrast sensitivity defined for public buildings.
A prosthesis for hernia repair comprising:
- at least one layer of a flexible mesh delimited by a peripheral outer edge, said mesh having a first color, and
- at least one gripping textile having a face provided with barbs, said at least one gripping textile fixed to said mesh substantially along a perimeter of said peripheral outer edge, said at least one gripping textile including a recess at a central part, in such a way that said at least one gripping textile forms a skirt extending from the peripheral outer edge of the mesh, or from a point set slightly back from the peripheral outer edge, towards a center of the mesh, the skirt being substantially parallel to a plane of the mesh and including a succession of wider parts and narrower parts, the narrower parts indicating corners of the peripheral outer edge and the wider parts indicating sides of the peripheral outer edge, said at least one gripping textile having a second color different from said first color, wherein the first color and the second color generate a contrast of 50% to 100% according to the scale of contrast sensitivity defined for public buildings.
