Implantable devices including a mesh and a pivotable film
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to implantable medical devices which include at least one mesh and at least one film pivotably attached to the mesh.
1. An implantable medical device comprising,
a mesh having at least one opening,
a film having at least one aperture, and
a pivot member positioned between the at least one opening of the mesh and the at least one aperture of the film, wherein the film is pivotably attached to the mesh via the pivot member and rotatable around the pivot member.
2. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the mesh comprises a bioabsorbable material.
3. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the mesh comprises a non-bioabsorbable material selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, condensed polytetrafluoroethylene and combinations thereof.
4. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the mesh comprises polypropylene.
5. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film comprises a bioabsorbable material.
6. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film comprises polylactide.
7. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film comprises collagen.
8. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film comprises an anti-adhesion barrier.
9. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film comprises an area smaller than the mesh.
10. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film further comprises at least one therapeutic agent.
11. The implantable medical device of claim 10 wherein the therapeutic agent comprises bupivacaine.
12. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the mesh further comprises at least grip member on a side opposite the film.
13. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the pivot member comprises a bioabsorbable material.
14. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the mesh is generally circular.
15. The implantable medical device of claim 14 wherein the film is generally circular.
16. The implantable medical device of claim 1 wherein the film further comprises at least one slit.
17. An implantable medical device comprising,
a planar mesh,
an anti-adhesion barrier film pivotably attached to one side of the planar mesh via a pivot member, the film including two slits, and,
a plurality of grip members positioned on another side of the mesh opposite the film, wherein the anti-adhesion barrier film is rotatable around the pivot member.
18. The implantable medical device of claim 17 wherein the mesh comprises a non-bioabsorbable material.
19. The implantable medical device of claim 17 wherein the film comprises collagen.
20. The implantable medical device of claim 17 wherein the film comprises an area smaller than the mesh.
21. The implantable medical device of claim 17 wherein the pivot member comprises a bioabsorbable material.
