Graft materials for surgical breast procedures
Filed US US20110022171 A1
Graft materials and devices for surgical breast procedures, as well as methods of making graft devices are described.
Graft materials can be used in a wide range of surgical procedures to augment tissue or repair or correct tissue defects. One application of graft materials is the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical breast procedures, a field in which the number of procedures performed each year continues to increase.

Graft materials can be used in a wide range of surgical procedures to augment tissue or repair or correct tissue defects. One application of graft materials is the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical breast procedures, a field in which the number of procedures performed each year continues to increase. Some graft materials are typically provided to surgeons as a sheet or sheet-like material, which the surgeon can cut to the desired size and shape before implantation. Graft materials can be very expensive and can pose challenges for attaining adequate conformance to underlying features of the implantation site.
According to certain embodiments, a graft material for surgical breast procedures is disclosed that includes a sample of biocompatible material with a first edge and a second edge. The first edge has a convex portion that curves away from the second edge, and the second edge has a convex portion that curves away from the first edge.Other inventorsSee patent -

IMPLANTABLE PROSTHESIS FOR SOFT TISSUE REPAIR
US 20170348084
An implantable prosthesis for mending anatomical defects, including a groin hernia. The prosthesis includes a prosthetic repair patch that may be implanted in different tissue planes to mend a defect. The patch may include a medial portion configured to be positioned in a first tissue plane and a lateral portion configured to be positioned in a second tissue plane offset from the first tissue plane. The patch may include a transition region configured to extend through tissue and/or muscle…
An implantable prosthesis for mending anatomical defects, including a groin hernia. The prosthesis includes a prosthetic repair patch that may be implanted in different tissue planes to mend a defect. The patch may include a medial portion configured to be positioned in a first tissue plane and a lateral portion configured to be positioned in a second tissue plane offset from the first tissue plane. The patch may include a transition region configured to extend through tissue and/or muscle, such as fascia, separating the tissue planes and transition the patch from one tissue plane to the other tissue plane. The transition region may be configured to inhibit buckling and/or bunching of the patch when implanted through the fascia. The lateral portion of the patch may have a level of stiffness that facilitates implantation of the patch in different tissue planes while inhibiting patient sensation to the implanted patch.

IMPLANTABLE PROSTHETIC DEVICE
US 20180064521
An implantable prosthesis and a method of repairing an anatomical defect, such as a soft tissue defect, by promoting tissue growth with the prosthetic. The prosthesis includes a body with an inner portion and an outer margin that extends outwardly beyond the inner portion, the outer margin including an inner portion side and an outer peripheral edge. The outer margin includes a tissue infiltratable portion, such as a tissue infiltratable layer, having a thickness that decreases from the inner…
