An implantable prosthesis is provided for repairing an anatomical defect, such as a tissue or muscle defect, that promotes tissue of muscle ingrowth into the prosthesis and subsequently strengthens the area of the defect. The prosthesis is easy to manipulate and may be designed to minimize the incidence of postoperative adhesions between a portion of the prosthesis and surrounding tissue or organs. The prosthesis may include one or more layers of biologically compatible material that is suitable for repairing a defect. The prosthesis may include a support assembly to facilitate manipulation and deployment of the prosthesis. The support assembly may include a stiffening member that is surrounded by material that separates the stiffening member from the layer of material. The stiffening member may be located in a sleeve of material, such as mesh fabric. The stiffening member may be formed from a resorbable material.

La présente invention concerne une prothèse implantable destinée à réparer un défaut anatomique, tel qu'un défaut tissulaire ou musculaire, ladite prothèse favorisant la croissance tissulaire ou musculaire à l'intérieur de la prothèse et renforçant ainsi la région du défaut. La prothèse est facile à manipuler et peut être conçue pour minimiser l'incidence des adhérences postopératoires entre une partie de la prothèse et le tissu ou les organes environnants. La prothèse peut inclure une ou plusieurs couches de matériau biologiquement compatible conçu pour réparer un défaut. Ladite prothèse peut inclure un ensemble support destiné à faciliter sa manipulation et son déploiement. L'ensemble support peut inclure un élément de raidissement qui est entouré d'un matériau séparant l'élément de raidissement de la couche de matériau. L'élément de raidissement peut être situé dans une gaine de matériau, tel qu'une étoffe en maille. Ledit élément de raidissement peut être formé à partir d'un matériau résorbable.
