BODY IMPLANTABLE FABRIC AND A METHOD OF IMPLANTING A FABRIC TO REPAIR A PELVIC FLOOR

摘要

An implantable fabric includes a bio-inert portion having a first surface and an opposing second surface, with each of the first and second surfaces configured for tissue ingrowth and a bio-absorbable portion attached to the bio-inert portion in a manner that substantially prevents wrinkles on each of the first and second surfaces of the bio-inert portion. And amethod of implanting a fabric into a body to repair a pelvic floor includes preventing wrinkle formation in the fabric with a bio- absorbable support, and implanting the bio-absorbable support and the fabric into the body.
