Prosthesis for inguinal hernia repair
First Claim
1. An implantable prosthesis for repairing a hernia defect in an inguinal region of a human body delimited by the anterior abdominal wall, the psoas muscle and a medial inferior area of the inguinal anatomy, the prosthesis comprising:
- a piece of biocompatible material having a preformed three-dimensional shape including a lateral side and a medial side extending along a medial-lateral axis and a superior side and inferior side extending along a superior-inferior axis, the piece including;
a first portion, configured to face the anterior abdominal wall, said first portion forming a partial spherical cap surface shaped and dimensioned so as to substantially conform to the anterior abdominal wall and including an inferior edge extending between the lateral and medial sides,a second portion, configured to face the psoas muscle, said second portion extending in an inferior direction from at least a lateral portion of the inferior edge of said first portion and forming a wavy-shaped wall, shaped and dimensioned so as to substantially conform to the psoas muscle, anda third portion forming an arched part, said arched part extending longitudinally substantially in the inferior direction from at least a medial portion of the inferior edge of said first portion, said arched part extending radially substantially in a front direction, said third portion being configured to face the medial inferior area of the inguinal anatomy.
