DEVICE FOR INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61F2/02 A61B17/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device for inguinal hernia repair in the form of synthetic mesh prosthesis with formed branches has a removable frame attached thereto to make it flat. The frame shape and size after having been attached to the synthetic mesh prosthesis enable leaving edges of the latter free to keep a width required to fix the synthetic mesh prosthesis to the body organs, including along the section line forming the branches. The removable frame of the synthetic mesh prosthesis pores of which are elastically extensible and contractible; it is trident-shaped and made of a metal wire of specific thickness depending on pore size of the synthetic mesh prosthesis; the removable frame is fixed to the synthetic mesh prosthesis with delivering the dent ends more than once through the synthetic mesh prosthesis in parallel with long edges of the latter toward its branches. Each frame dent has a rounded thickening at the end.

EFFECT: device simplifies the fixation procedure in tissues of the synthetic mesh prosthesis when repairing the inguinal hernia.
