Abstract

The present disclosure relates to implants including a porous substrate, a first hydrogel precursor, a second hydrogel precursor and a mesh. The first and second hydrogel precursors are applied to the porous substrate. The mesh has a first portion in contact with the porous substrate and a second portion exposed for tissue contact.

Claims (30)

1. An implant comprising:

a porous substrate;

a first hydrogel precursor and a second hydrogel precursor applied to the porous substrate; and

a mesh having a first portion embedded within the porous substrate and a second portion exposed for tissue contact, wherein the porous substrate is positioned around a perimeter of the mesh.

2. The implant of claim 1 wherein the porous substrate is a foam.

3. The implant of claim 1 wherein the mesh is a knitted textile.

4. The implant of claim 1 wherein the porous substrate is made from a bioabsorbable material.

5. The implant of claim 1 wherein the porous substrate is made from a material selected from the group consisting of collagen, chitosan, oxidized cellulose and combinations thereof.

6. The implant of claim 1 wherein the mesh is made from a non-bioabsorbable material.

7. The implant of claim 1 wherein the mesh is made from polypropylene.

8. The implant of claim 1 wherein the first hydrogel precursor is selected from the group consisting of particles, a foam, a film and combinations thereof.

9. The implant of claim 1 wherein the second hydrogel precursor is selected from the group consisting of particles, a foam, a film and combinations thereof.

10. The implant of claim 1 further comprising an adhesion-barrier.

11. The implant of claim 1 further comprising a bioactive agent.

12. An implant comprising:

a porous substrate;

a first hydrogel precursor applied to the porous substrate;

a film containing a second hydrogel precursor, wherein the film is applied to at least a portion of the porous substrate; and

a mesh having a first portion in contact with the porous substrate and a second portion exposed for tissue contact, wherein the porous substrate is positioned around a perimeter of the mesh.

13. The implant of claim 12 wherein the porous substrate is a foam.

14. The implant of claim 12 wherein the mesh is a woven textile.

15. The implant of claim 12 wherein the mesh is a non-woven textile.

16. The implant of claim 12 wherein the porous substrate is made from a bioabsorbable material.

17. The implant of claim 12 wherein the porous substrate is made from a material selected from the group consisting of collagen, chitosan, oxidized cellulose and combinations thereof.

18. The implant of claim 12 wherein the mesh is made from a non-bioabsorbable material.

19. The implant of claim 12 wherein the mesh is made from polypropylene.

20. The implant of claim 12 wherein the first hydrogel precursor is selected from the group consisting of particles, a foam, a film and combinations thereof.

21. The implant of claim 12 further comprising a slit defined therein.

22. The implant of claim 12 further comprising an adhesion barrier layer.

23. The implant of claim 12 further comprising a bioactive agent.
