A surgical implantation device to be placed within a patient's body and seal a hernial rupture includes either a single planar member attached to a locating segment or a first planar member and second planar member, large enough to cover the opening in the abdominal fascia, that are placed on opposite sides of the fascia. In the case of a single planar member, the locating member is placed in the fascia opening and the planar member is placed interiorly of the transversalis fascia. In the case of two planar members, the first and second planar members are connected by a locating member that passes through the fascia opening. The surgical implantation device can be folded upon itself and compressed to fit with a surgical tube and inserted into the patient to the hernial site. Once the surgical tube is at the site, the surgical implantation device is forced from the tube and automatically expands so the planar members assume their flat shape and the locating member assumes its elongated shape. |
