Abstract
An implantable tissue repair device has a cover and tissue regeneration material. The cover includes a top panel and a bottom panel joined together along a leading edge. The tissue regeneration material is positioned between the top and bottom panels. The cover includes a continuous sheet of biocompatible material extending across the edge and into the top panel and bottom panel. The cover is thicker along the leading edge than at least a portion of the top panel and thicker than at least a portion of the bottom panel. At least a portion of one of the panels covering the tissue regeneration material is thicker than a portion of the other panel covering the tissue regeneration material. A method of making the device is also disclosed.

8. An implantable tissue repair device comprising:
-
a cover including a top panel and a bottom panel joined together along a leading edge; tissue regeneration material between the top and bottom panels, the tissue regeneration material having a first side and a second side meeting at an apex, the tissue regeneration material further including a third side extending between the first side and the second side; wherein; the cover includes an outer group of laminae of biocompatible material and an inner group of laminae of biocompatible material; the laminae of the inner group extend over the first side of the tissue regeneration material; the laminae of the outer group extend across the leading edge, over the laminae of the inner group and over the second side and third side of the tissue regeneration material; the cover is thicker over the first side of the tissue regeneration material than over the second side and third side of the tissue regeneration material; and at least one of the cover and the tissue regeneration material includes a material selected from the group consisting of; small intestine submucosa, stomach submucosa, bladder submucosa, alimentary submucosa, respiratory submucosa, genital submucosa, and liver basement membrane. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19)
