Abstract

The inventive strip-shaped endoprosthesis (1) for reparative anaplastic surgery includes a cover (2) whose surface (3) is provided with protrusions (4) which are embodied in the form of inclined conical barbs (6) having flexible and elastic sharpened ends (5). The protruded barbs are differently disposed on the endoprosthesis surface in order to improve the fixation thereof to soft tissues. The embodiments of said endoprosthesis are selected according to the purpose thereof. The embodiments of volume endoprosthesises (9 and 14) for eliminating the breast ptosis and correcting a dorsum of nose are also enclosed. The protruded barbs are applied on the cover in such a way than the resistance of the endoprosthesis is preserved.

Claims

1. Endoprosthesis (1) for anaplastic and aesthetic surgery made from polymeric biological material comprising the cover (2) with a textured, cellular or rough surface, characterized in that the surface (3) of the cover (2) is provided with protrusions (4) in the form of inclined conical flexible elastic barbs (6) with sharpened ends (5), wherein the direction, the arrangement and the interval (7) between the barbs (6) vary in dependence of the functional purpose of the endoprosthesis, and the elevation (8) of the ends of the protrusions above the surface is from 0.01 mm to 5 mm also according to the purpose of the endoprosthesis.

2. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 1 characterized in that the protrusion barbs (6) provided on one side have the same direction and are arranged in a staggered order.

3. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 1 and 2 characterized in that the protrusion barbs (6) are provided on both sides of the endoprosthesis.

4. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 1 and 2 characterized in that the protrusions barbs (6) are provided on both sides of the endoprosthesis and are directed opposite each other from the center thereof.

5. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 1 characterized in that the protrusions barbs (6) are provided on two sides of the endoprosthesis with every row alternation of their directions.

6. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 1 characterized in that it is made of three-dimensional form and is provided on one side with the barbs (6) having the same direction along the whole surface.

7. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 1 characterized in that it is made of three-dimensional form alternating inclination directions of the protrusions barbs (6) on each of the sides.

8. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 2 characterized in that the protrusion barbs (6) are provided on both sides of the endoprosthesis.

9. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 2 characterized in that the protrusions barbs (6) are provided on both sides of the endoprosthesis and are directed opposite each other from the center thereof.

10. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 2 characterized in that the protrusions barbs (6) are provided on two sides of the endoprosthesis with every row alternation of their directions.

11. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 2 characterized in that it is made of three-dimensional form and is provided on one side with the barbs (6) having the same direction along the whole surface.

12. Endoprosthesis (1) according to claim 2 characterized in that it is made of three-dimensional form alternating inclination directions of the protrusions barbs (6) on each of the sides.
