| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a prosthetic mesh system (10) adapted for implantation in a body. More particularly, the mesh system (10) includes a biocompatible mesh layer (12). The mesh layer (12) is flexible such that the mesh layer (12) has a generally flat shape when it is in a first condition and a generally collapsed shape when it is in a second condition. The mesh layer (12) has at least one ridge (20) formed integrally therewith and projecting therefrom in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mesh layer (12) when the mesh layer (12) is in the first condition. The ridge (20) is sized and shaped so as to facilitate the movement of the mesh layer (12) from its collapsed shape to its flat shape.
