    [0001] The invention relates to a surgical implant adapted to repair a defect in the tissue or muscle wall, in particular to repair an inguinal hernia, and to a method of manufacturing such an implant.
    [0002] Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Various prosthetic materials, typically porous to allow tissue ingrowth, have been provided in a variety of combinations, shapes and formats. Inguinal hernia repair is often achieved by inserting a plug into the hernia defect. Various materials were discussed for use as prosthetic plugs. Polypropylene is most often used in the form of a mesh net fabric to create the desired shapes.
    [0003] Many commercially available plugs comprise an outer wrap (usually produced from mesh material) with a separate "charge" material attached to the interior of the outer wrap. The charge serves as a way to hold and position the plug during a surgical procedure. In addition, the load, in conjunction with the outer wrapping, allows for tissue ingrowth to occur over time.
    [0004] EP 0 614 650 A2 describes an implantable prosthesis for muscle or tissue wall repairs comprising a network of polypropylene mesh monofilaments. An outer wrap produced from the mesh material is similar to a cone (with grooves). In addition, multiple inner layers of mesh material are provided, which are located on the outer shell and are attached to the tip area of the cone configuration. A similar implant is known from W0 97/45068 A1.
    [0005] The document CN 101112335 A describes a patch to remedy multipurpose embeddable hernia comprising a substrate and a plurality of petals arranged on the upper surface of the substrate. The distal ends of the petals are free, while the proximal ends are fixed to the center of the substrate. A plurality of reinforcing ribs may be disposed on the upper surface of the substrate.
    [0006] The document EP 0 888 756 A2 describes a surgical implant for hernioplasty produced from polypropylene mesh material, in which an areal base and a protrusion that serves as a plug are joined by stitches.
    [0007] Separate fabrication steps are required to secure the filling to the interior of the outer wrap. Eliminating the filling material would be a way of simplifying manufacturing; however, this would also eliminate the benefits and functionality of having a filler material.
    [0008] It is the aim of the invention to provide a surgical implant adapted to repair a tissue or muscle wall defect, which has the advantages of prior art implants discussed above, but which can be manufactured in an easier and cheaper way.
    [0009] This objective is achieved by a surgical implant that has the features according to claim 1. Advantageous versions of the implant comprise the dependent claims. Claim 15 relates to a kit comprising this implant plus a separate surgical mesh. Claims 16 and 17 refer to the manufacturing methods of this implant.
    [00010] The surgical implant according to the invention is adapted to repair a tissue or muscle wall defect, in particular an inguinal hernia. The implant (implantable prosthesis, plug) comprises an outer section and an inner section located in the outer section. The outer section corresponds to the outer wrap and the inner section to the filling of the prior art implants discussed above. In this way, the outer section fits into the defect to be repaired, while the inner section serves as a way to hold and position the implant during a surgical procedure and facilitates tissue ingrowth. According to the invention, the outer section and the inner section are formed by a double sheet of a flexible basic structure. This means that the implant comprises a basic structure that is flexible and, before formatting the implant during the manufacturing process, areal or blade-shaped. In the manufacturing process, a double blade of the basic structure is provided, in particular by bending a single blade (hereafter simply called blade) over a fold line or, similarly, by superimposing two single blades. In this way, both the outer section and the inner section are formed from the same double sheet of material so that it is not necessary to attach the inner section to the outer section in a separate step. This facilitates the manufacturing process and generates savings. It is not excluded, however, that the implant comprises components or parts in addition to the outer section and the inner section considered so far.
    [00011] In advantageous versions of the invention, the external section of the implant has a generally tapered shape, for example, a shape that generally looks like a cone or a frustum of a cone, which may involve folds or a grooved surface. These shapes include a base open side so that the inner section of the implant is accessible through this base open side.
    [00012] In a particular advantageous embodiment of the invention, the double blade of the basic structure is a single blade of the basic structure folded around a fold line or, similarly, it is an overlap of two simple blades of the basic structure, resulting in two opposing laminar portions that define the inner section in an area adjacent to the bend line and the outer section in an area away from the bend line. The two opposite laminar parts have edge areas facing each other. Preferably, the blade of the basic structure is symmetric, and the fold line is an axis of symmetry of the blade (the blade may also include another axis of symmetry perpendicular to the fold line). In the outer section, at least part of the edge areas facing each other are connected to each other, for example, by welding, suturing and/or gluing. Other areas of the two opposing blade parts facing each other can also be connected to each other. These connection areas can also serve as zones of reinforcement, stiffening or strengthening. Also, in the outer section, the double blade of the basic frame is inverted so that the outer section accommodates the inner section. This format could be more easily understood when considering the steps in the manufacturing process, which are described in more detail below.
    [00013] Preferably, the shape of the laminar material of the basic structure from which the outer section and the inner section are formed is greatly improved for the final three-dimensional shape of the implant. For example, when the blade is bent over the fold line, the two opposing laminar parts may have side cutouts in a transition region between the inner section and the outer section so that the inner section and outer section are already quite distinct before the inversion step, which facilitates the inversion step.
    [00014] The inner section of the implant must be accommodated in the outer section. For this purpose, in the inner section, the double sheet of the basic structure can include additional folds so that it fits snugly into the outer section, for example, in a bent shape like an accordion. In general, the properties of the inner section (for example, its rigidity or its hardness) can be adjusted, for example, by the arrangement of folds, by cuts (preferably already provided in the original sheet of the basic structure) or by connections between opposite areas of blade parts of the inner section. For example, through connecting areas, the inner section can be presented as an essentially closed body located in the outer section, which is accessible through an open end or base side of the outer section.
    [00015] In general, the inner section functions as a handle support, which facilitates the handling of the surgical implant according to the invention during surgery. The implant can be easily held in the inner section using a grip instrument and placed and positioned in the defect to be repaired. Because of the shape of the implant and supported by additional optional reinforcement elements (see below) or the arrangement of connecting areas (see above), the implant is well protected from the tip of the grip instrument that penetrates the implant. In addition, the inner section acts as a filler to fill the defect.
    [00016] In advantageous embodiments of the invention, the basic structure comprises a mesh. The basic structure can also comprise a composite structure, in which at least one additional layer is added to the mesh, for example a film.
    [00017] The mesh of the basic structure is preferably macroporous with typical pore dimensions of more than 0.5 mm, which supports good tissue integration. However, other pore sizes are also conceivable. The knit may be provided in any type known in the art, for example warp knit or weft knit or crochet knit or weft. A design like a film or perforated sheet is also conceivable. Any filaments in the mesh can be bioabsorbable or non-absorbable, depending on the material. Filaments can be designed as monofilaments or as multifilaments. Tape yarns and pulled film tapes are also conceivable. Any combinations, blends or composites of materials and designs are also possible. Furthermore, the filaments can be coated.
    [00018] Examples for non-absorbable materials are polypropylene ("Prolene") as well as combinations of polyvinylidene fluoride and copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropene ("Pronova"). Examples for absorbable materials are copolymers of glycolide and lactide (in particular, in the 90:10 ratio, "Vicryl"), poly-p-dioxanone ("PDS"), and copolymers of glycolide and ε-caprolactone ("Monocryl"). The designations indicated are trademarks used by the Claimant. Other materials suitable for use with surgical implants are also known in the art.
    [00019] Examples for meshes comprised in the basic structure are "Vypro" and "Vypro II" meshes (containing multifilaments of "Vicryl" and polypropylene), "Ultrapro" meshes (containing monofilaments of "Monocryl" and polypropylene) and "Prolene" meshes " soft (containing polypropylene). Again, the designations indicated are trademarks used by the Claimant.
    [00020] As already mentioned, one or more additional layers can be added to the mesh to make it a composite structure. Additional layers can include, for example, bioabsorbable films, non-absorbable films, and/or oxidized regenerated cellulose. Through a film, for example, tissue ingrowth can be controlled, and a film can serve as a barrier to adhesion and as a means for tissue separation. For example, the mesh of the basic structure can be covered on one or both sides with a polymeric film structure, which is absorbable or permanent and can further provide a barrier to adhesion.
    [00021] Examples for meshes that have an additional film layer are "Physiomesh" meshes and "Proceed" meshes; these designations are trademarks used by the Applicant. If a "Proceed" mesh comprising an oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) layer is used, the ORC layer must be placed over the outer face of the implant, ie, the face that first contacts the body tissue.
    [00022] In this way, the basic flexible structure can be a mesh or a composite structure, which is supplied as a pre-cut blade to a desired shape. It is conceivable that the material or structure of the blade will vary across the area of the blade depending on the location of the area in question on the implant. From this blade, the outer section and the inner section of the implant are formed.
    [00023] In advantageous embodiments of the surgical implant according to the invention, at least one reinforcement element is fixed to the basic structure and occupies part of the blade area of the basic structure. These reinforcing elements can strengthen the outer section as well as the inner section.
    [00024] For example, a reinforcing element may be formed as a film strip or a structure of film strips of resorbable poly-p-dioxanone ("PDS") material, which is laminated to the basic structure. Ribs or a rib structure are also conceivable, a rib being generally less flat than a strip. Preferably, the reinforcement elements are flexible and are fixed to the sheet of the basic structure early in the manufacturing process. Another suitable material for the reinforcing elements is Poliglecaprone 25 ("Monocryl"). If the reinforcement elements are produced from resorbable material, they can disintegrate and leave a more flexible or softer residual implant.
    [00025] Reinforcing elements strengthen and harden the implant where necessary. Pre-shaped absorbable concentric strips, or radial ribs, for example, can be laminated to one face of the basic framework blade to provide enhanced resilience properties to the plug for better fit of the implant to the defect margins. Additionally, through the use of reinforcement elements fixed to the basic structure, the grip and handling of the implant with an instrument for placement and positioning can be facilitated. Simultaneously, the reinforcement elements can also operate as a penetration protection that prevents the surgeon's instrument from penetrating through, for example, the macroporous mesh of the basic structure, which could lead to damage to the surrounding tissue.
    [00026] Furthermore, the reinforcement elements or at least one of the reinforcement elements can be colored. In this way, the visibility of the implant as a whole in the area of surgery can be enhanced, the implant can be more easily oriented, and the overall handling and grip of the implant can be facilitated. For example, the central area of the implant can be marked by colored reinforcement elements. A suitable colorant is, for example, D&C violet No. 2.
    [00027] Overall, the surgical implant according to the invention provides many advantages. It can be produced as a lightweight structure with low foreign body sensation and causing little or no chronic pain but having sufficient strength. During surgery, it requires only minimal manipulation of anatomical structures and, as a rule, no pre-peritoneal mobilization. Compared to traditional plugging techniques (according to Rutkow), little training is required to work with the implant. Deployment tends to be quick and positioning easy. The inner section provides a convenient grip and handling aid to place and position the implant into the defect using a surgical instrument, while the instrument tip is protected from implant penetration and lesion generation. Generally speaking, the volume of the defect is filled by the implant, which is flexible. Depending on the desired application and the materials used, the implant can be fully or partially biodegradable.
    [00028] Surgical implant can be used to repair defects of different sizes. If necessary, the implant can be configured and adapted to the defect in question, eg by trimming the outer section and/or the inner section. It is also possible to fix the implant on the margins of the defect, for example, by suturing. Generally speaking, the implant can be used in the preperitoneal space as well as the intraperitoneal space (abdomen). Other possible uses are for repairing ventral hernia defects, umbilical and incisional hernia defects, etc.
    [00029] Some surgeons prefer to place, after inserting the surgical implant described so far, into a hernia defect, a piece of a separate surgical mesh over the implant or body tissue in the implant area, respectively. For this purpose, a kit is provided which comprises a surgical implant as described above plus a separate surgical mesh which is adapted to be placed over the tissue or muscle wall defect after the surgical implant has been applied. This separate surgical mesh can be pre-shaped to a suitable size and/or can be trimmed to the desired size if necessary. Preferably, the material of the separate surgical mesh is the same as a mesh in the basic structure. The separate surgical mesh can also comprise a composite structure.
    [00030] A method of manufacturing a surgical implant according to the invention has already been indicated. Generally speaking, a double blade of a flexible basic structure is provided, and the outer section and inner section of the implant are formed from that double blade.
    [00031] More specifically, a double blade of the basic structure is provided by folding a single blade (with a desired shape) of the basic structure over a fold line or, similarly, by superimposing two single blades (with a desired shape) of the basic structure. This results in two opposing laminar portions defining the inner section in an area adjacent to the fold line and the outer section in an area away from the fold line, with the opposite laminar portions having edge areas facing each other. (Alternatively, the double blade could be cut to the desired shape after it has been supplied, or partially cut before and partially cut after.) In the outer section, at least part of these edge areas facing each other are connected to each other , preferably, by welding, gluing and/or suturing. If desired, additional areas of the opposing laminar parts facing each other can also be connected to each other, again preferably by welding, gluing and/or suturing. Later, in the outer section, the double sheet of the basic structure is inverted so that the outer section accommodates the inner section. If the inner section is not automatically fitted to the outer section when performing the inversion step, the inner section or parts of it can be arranged later so that the inner section fits snugly into the outer section. The reinforcing elements, in particular when strip-like, are preferably fixed or laminated to the sheet of the basic structure prior to folding the sheet over the fold line. In addition, the basic structure can be provided with incisions or cuts in the intermediate steps of the method, which will become more evident from the modalities described below.
    [00032] In the following, the invention is described in more detail through examples. The drawings show in
    [00033] Figure 1 in parts (a) to (h) several consecutive steps during the fabrication of an implant modality according to the invention, resulting in the implant shown in part (h) in a three-dimensional view,
    [00034] Figure 2 is a first variant of the modality according to Figure 1(h) in three-dimensional view,
    [00035] Figure 3 a second variant of the modality according to Figure 1(h) in three-dimensional view, and
    [00036] Figure 4 in parts (a) to (d) several consecutive steps during the fabrication of another modality of implant according to the invention, resulting in the implant shown in part (d) in three-dimensional view, and in parts (e ) and (f) two three-dimensional views illustrating the use of this implant.
    [00037] Figures 1(a) to 1(h) illustrate a sequence of steps for the fabrication of a surgical implant 1 that can be used to repair a tissue or muscle wall defect.
    [00038] Figure 1(a) shows a plan view of a structure of a basic structure 2. This structure is designed as a simple sheet 4 that has an axis of symmetry A-A. In the finished implant 1, the area adjacent to axis A-A (on both sides) forms an inner section 6 of implant 1, while the area away from axis A-A (on both sides) forms an outer section 8.
    [00039] In the transition region between the portions of blade 4 to define inner section 6 and outer section 8, there are cutouts 10 and slots 11. In other words, blade 4 of basic structure 2 has been pre-cut to a shape desired, for example, by laser cutting or by punching or cutting by cutting plotting.
    [00040] In modality, basic structure 2 comprises a surgical mesh that has rough pores and includes monofilaments of "Monocryl" (see above) and polypropylene. The knits produced from this material are marketed by the Applicant under the trade name of "Ultrapro". Optionally, one side of the mesh can be coated with a layer of oxidized regenerated cellulose.
    [00041] In a separate step, reinforcement elements formed as a contiguous arrangement of reinforcement strips 12 are prepared, see figure 1(b). In the embodiment, the reinforcing strips 12 are cut from a poly-p-dioxanone film (dyed with D&C violet #2) by cut-plotb. This material is absorbable. Reinforcement strips 12 are significantly stiffer than the basic structure 2.
    [00042] In the step illustrated in Figure 1(c), the reinforcing strips 12 are laminated to sheet 4 of the basic structure 2, for example, by welding.
    [00043] In the next step, the single blade 4 including the reinforcing strips 12 is bent over the axis of symmetry A-A, thus forming a double blade 14, as shown in figure 1(d). In the embodiment, the reinforcing strips 12 are on the inner side of the double blade 14 (but they could also be located on the outer side). In this way, the inner section 6 of the implant 1 is defined by two opposing laminar parts of the basic structure 2, that is, in the area adjacent to the AA axis at the lower edge 16 of the double blade 14. Similarly, the outer section 8 of the implant 1 is defined by two opposing laminar parts of the basic structure 2, that is, in the area away from the lower edge 16.
    [00044] In the next step, which is shown in Figure 1(e), the edge areas 18 of the laminar parts of the double blade 14 facing each other are connected to each other, for example, by welding. In Figure 1(e), these edge areas are indicated as shaded areas.
    [00045] Figure 1(f) is a three-dimensional view of the resulting double blade 14. As additional steps, a cut 20 is made, which penetrates both parts of the double blade 14; alternatively, corresponding cuts could already be provided on the single blade 4 before the folding step is done. In addition, the lower edge 16 of the double blade 14 is cut away. In this state, the parts of the double blade 14 are held together by the connected edge areas 18.
    [00046] Figure 1(g) illustrates how the portion of the double blade 14 that forms the inner section 6 of the implant 1 is bent into an accordion shape.
    [00047] In the last step, which is shown in Figure 1(h), the double blade 14 is inverted in the outer section 8. This step can be done easily, because the basic structure 2 is flexible, and it can be facilitated by the presence of the cuts 20. If the inner section 6, which forms a folded padding like an accordion, is not automatically accommodated after the outer section 8 has been inverted, it has to be rearranged so that it fits well within the outer section 8.
    [00048] Figure 1(h) shows implant 1 in its finished state. It comprises an outer section 8 which is essentially shaped like the lateral area of a cone (with a rounded tip) and including a flexible mesh material reinforced by the reinforcing strips 12, as well as an inner section 6 produced from the same material and having the function of a filling. As the implant 1 is flexible, it can be easily inserted into a tissue or muscle wall defect, as further illustrated by figure 4 in the context of another modality.
    [00049] Figure 2 illustrates a first variant of the modality according to Figure 1(h) in three-dimensional view. This variant, designated 1', is very similar to implant 1. Instead of the two cutouts 20 in figure 1(h), however, a total of four cutouts 20' is provided. In general, cutouts 20 or cutouts 20' increase the flexibility of the implant and can facilitate the inversion step of the outer section 8. However, modalities without these cuts are also conceivable.
    [00050] A second variant of the modality according to Figure 1(h) is shown in Figure 3. This variant, designated 1", is almost identical to the implant 1' of Figure 2. Unlike this one, however, the lower edge 16 in Figure 1(e) is not cropped, as in the step according to Figure 1(f). This results in a less open 6" inner section of the 1" implant so that the filling provided by the 6" inner section is generally more rigid.
    [00051] Figure 4 shows another modality of the surgical implant, which is designated as 30, and also illustrates how the implant 30 is handled during a surgical operation.
    [00052] The implant 30 comprises a basic structure 32 provided as a structure formed as a single pre-cut blade, which is shown in Figure 4(a) in a three-dimensional view. This blade comprises two jagged areas 34 and an axis of symmetry B-B. In addition, a reinforcing strip 36 is laminated to one side of the frame.
    [00053] In the manufacturing steps indicated in figure 4(b), the frame is bent around the BB shaft to provide a double blade 38, and the edge areas 40 facing each other are connected to each other, for example , by welding, suturing or gluing. In this way, an inner section 42 and an outer section 44 of the implant 30 are formed. Furthermore, in an inner connection area 41 in the edge region between the inner section 42 and the outer section 44, the opposing blades are also connected to each other. the others.
    [00054] In the step illustrated in Figure 4(c), the outer section 44 is inverted or "folded up" until it accommodates the inner section 42, which results in the finished implant 30 according to Figure 4(d).
    [00055] The shape of the outer section 44 of the finished implant 30 is cone-like with a somewhat rounded tip 46, which reduces irritation, for example, of the peritoneum, when the implant is inserted. The outer section 42 is stiffened by the reinforcing strip 36 and also by the connected edge areas 40. In general, however, the implant is particularly flexible. Because the reinforcing strip 36 is laminated onto the base frame 32, the resilience of the implant 30 will be enhanced, and the implant 30 better fits the margins of the defect. In order to further improve the compatibility of the implant 30 to the margins of the defect, additional cutouts can be provided in the outer section 44, similarly to the cutouts 20 or cutouts 20'.
    [00056] Figure 4(e) illustrates how implant 30 is handled during surgery. The inner section 42 can be easily secured with a surgical grip instrument 48. The amount of material of the inner section 42, the presence of the connecting area 41 as well as the reinforcing strip 36 prevent the grip instrument tip 48 penetrates through the generally soft and coarse-pored material of the basic structure 32 causing injury. Figure 4(f) shows the tip area 46 of the implant 30 with the grip instrument 48 inserted and the implant 30 slightly extended, but the grip instrument does not pierce the implant 30.
    [00057] The implant 30 can be inserted into a tissue or muscle wall defect, in particular to repair a hernia, with the tip area 46 facing forward. Due to its flexibility, the implant 30 fits well to the size and shape of the defect, with the inner section 42 serving as a filling. If necessary, the outer section 44 and the inner section 42 can be trimmed to a desired size, preferably immediately prior to insertion of the implant 30. In addition, the edge area of the outer section 44 can be sutured to body tissue, depending on the conditions. conditions in the area of surgery.
    [00058] In the modality, the basic structure 32 comprises a surgical mesh of the "Vypro" type (see above) that includes multifilaments of "Vicryl" (see above; absorbables) and polypropylene (non-absorbables). Reinforcement strip 36 is based on "Monocryl". An additional layer, eg oxidized regenerated cellulose, can be added to the mesh, on one side or both sides. See also the general comments above.
    [00059] In a variant of the implant 30, there are no reinforcing elements like the reinforcing strip 36.
    [00060] In another variant, the implant does not involve a single folded blade, but starts with a double blade comprising an overlap of two single blades. For this purpose, two pre-cut single blades are placed one on top of the other, which results in a state like that shown in figure 4(b), but without the two single blades being connected to axis BB of figure 4(a) . Since the blades are connected in areas 40 and 41, the manufacturing step according to Figure 4(c) can be done in the same way as before. In the resulting implant, the inner section is more open, as in the modality according to Figure 2.
    [00061] Many other implant modalities are also conceivable. For example, reinforcing elements such as reinforcing strips or ribs may be arranged in a different pattern (which influences the resilience properties of the implant), or there are no reinforcing elements. Or, for example, the shape of the basic structure is not provided by pre-cut single blades, but the double blade obtained after folding a single blade (which is, for example, rectangular) or overlapping two single blades (which are , eg rectangular) is cut to the desired shape. The choice of materials has already been discussed generally above.
