DEVICE FOR PLASTIC SURGERY OF POSTERIOR WALL OF INGUINAL CANAL Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B17/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device for plastic of the back wall of the inguinal canal is made in the form of a synthetic mesh prosthesis with a removable frame attached thereto to provide a flat shape of the wound. The removable frame is represented by an elastic ring-shaped string with thickness depending on pore size of the synthetic mesh prosthesis and not extending beyond the synthetic mesh prosthesis or overlapping its jaws. The ends of the frame can be connected and disconnected. The removable frame is attached by passing the end of its string through the synthetic mesh prosthesis, on which landmarks are placed for removable frame fixation. The landmarks are made in the form of symbols of four fixation points equidistant from each other and are represented by round 2-3 mm holes, fixed by colour-contrasting threads attached by metal brackets. The landmarks for removable frame fixation are made in the form of colour-contrasting fibers interwoven into the mesh prosthesis, which form a square with a side equal to the diameter of the removable frame.

EFFECT: improvement of the device.
