REINFORCING PROSTHESIS OF TEXTILE STRUCTURE

摘要

The prosthesis has an opening (la) for placement around the oesophagus in case of a hiatus hernia. The structure (1) is made from a flexible biocompatible 100 %-synthetic material which can adapt to the anatomical form of the region for treatment, one side of said structure being impregnated with a non-adherent film (2). The opening (la) is defined by a region (3) in contact with the oesophagus with a section forming a bead (3) such as not to engender trauma of the oesophagus, said opening (la) having means for adjustment of the diameter thereof to match the oesophagus.
