Patent

CA 2485275

An implantable prosthesis (20) is provided for repairing or augmenting anatomical weaknesses or defects, and is particularly suitable for the repair of soft tissue and muscle wall openings. The prosthesis may include a layer of fabric (22) that is constructed and arranged to allow tissue ingrowth and is susceptible to erosion into and the formation of adhesions with tissue and organs. The prosthesis is configured to inhibit edge erosion of the prosthesis into surrounding tissue or organs. The prosthesis may include an erosion resistant edge (114) to buffer and edge (54) of the fabric from the adjacent tissue or organs. The erosion resistant edge may be provided along an opening that is adapted to receive a tube-like structure, such as the esophagus (202).

L'invention concerne une prothèse implantable (20) servant à réparer ou augmenter des faiblesses ou défauts anatomiques et convenant, en particulier, à la réparation d'ouvertures dans une paroi musculaire et du tissu mou. Cette prothèse peut comporter une couche de tissu textile (22), qui est fabriquée et agencée pour permettre l'interposition tissulaire mais sensible à l'érosion et à la formation d'adhérences avec le tissu et les organes. Ladite prothèse est conçue pour inhiber l'érosion d'un bord de la prothèse, entourant le tissu ou les organes. Cette prothèse présente un bord résistant à l'érosion (114) destiné à isoler un bord (54) du tissu textile par rapport au tissu organique ou aux organes adjacents. Ce bord résistant à l'érosion peut être placé le long d'une ouverture conçue pour recevoir une structure tubulaire, telle que l'oesophage (202).
