Abstract

29,400 SURGICAL REPAIR MESH
ABSTRACT
A mesh or fabric, having zero or variable stretch, is made from absorbable or partially absorbable fibers. The mesh or fabric can be knitted. The fabric is useful in sur-gical repair.

Description

,400 1 322~ 1 5 SURGICAL REPAIR MESH

This invention is concerned with a mesh or fabric which may be either knit or woven. The ~abric is made trom either a tissue absorbable material such as polyglycolic acid (herein PGA) fibers, or from a partially tissue absorb-able material such as mixtures of PGA fibers and fibers of a nonabsorbable polyester or polyamide, or fibers of another medically acceptable nonabsorbable material. It is to be understood that the term polyglycolic acid is generic to both the homopolymer and to copolymers containing a glycolic acid ester linkage.
The mesh or fabric has varying amounts of stretch, including zero stretch in the warp or in the weft (fill.ng) direction.
The mesh or fabric may be useful in a wide variety of internal surgical procedures, e.g. as a tamponading device for pressure encapsulation and repair of traumatic-ally damaged organs such as the spleen, liver or kidney. The mesh or fabric may also be useful as a zero stretch or low stretch material e.g. in the repair of an abdominal wall defect, hernia, urinary tract, etc. Further, the mesh or fabric may be useful in areas of the cardiovascular system and in the brain. Still turther, the mesh or fabric may be useful in oral surgery, for example to repair de~ects and to encourage tissue ingrowth.

- 1322ql5 Although the dlmenslons and weight o~ the mesh are only llmlted by the practlcal slze for lts lntended use, dlmensions of from 4 x 4 lnches to 10 x 13 inches and welghts of 0.75 to 6.5 ounces per square yard can be normally used. Openlngs ln the mesh can range normally from zero to 1/4 lnch. The mesh can also be manufactured as a tubular prosthesis.
A drawlng whlch descrlbes the shape and~or geometrlcal conflguratlon of the mesh or fabrlc ls not necessary for an understandlng of thls lnventlon. That ls, any person skllled ln the mesh or fabrlc art wlll know how to manufacture and how to use the lnventlon by readlng thls speclflcatlon, generally and the examples, speclflcally.
In order to further stablllze the fabrlc, that ls to elimlnate horlzontal or vertlcal edge curllng and regulate stretch, the fabrlc may be heat set by holdlng both length and wldth to a speclfled dlmenslon wlthln a pln or cllp frame whlle exposlng the materlal to temperatures of g0 to 175C for perlods of 30 seconds to 15 mlnutes, preferably ln a vacuum. The fabrlc may also be heat set by holdlng both the length and wldth to a speclfled dlmenslon on a heated cyllnder whlle exposlng the materlal to temperatures of 90 to 175C for perlods of up to 4 hours ln a vacuum.
A knltted surglcal mesh has been lnvented. The mesh comprlses a plurallty of fllaments. Each fllament ls manufactured from a polymer havlng a glycollc acld ester llnkage. The fllaments are bundled or twisted lnto a yarn, and the yarn ls knltted ln a mesh.

In still another embodiment, the knitted fabric is manufactured on a 48 gauge Raschel knitting machine wherein the stitch design is Front Bar: 1/0 0/1 and Back Bar: 1/0 4/5.
In yet another embodiment, the weight of the fabric is about 4 to 10 oz./sq. yd. In a further embodiment, the quality of the fabric is about 10 to 20 inches per 480 courses.
A woven surgical fabric has been invented. The woven fabric comprises a plurality of filaments. Each filament is manufactured from a polymer having a glycolic acid ester linkage. The filaments are twisted into a yarn, and the yarn is woven into a fabric.
In one embodiment, the polymer is a homopolymer.
In another embodiment, the polymer is a copolymer. In a more specific embodiment, the copolymer is manufactured trom glycolide and from trimethylene carbonate.
In yet another embodiment, the yarn manufactured trom the polymer is less than about 300 denier, and the yarn contains at least about 3 plys. In a more specific embodi-ment, the yarn is about 40 to 250 denier and contains about 5 plys. The total number of filaments per yarn is about 50 to 150.
In a still further embodiment, the warp yarn of the woven fabric has about 2 to 7 twists per inch and the filling yarn has about 1/2 to 5 twists per inch. In a yet further embodiment, the weight of the fabric is about 1 to 6 oz./sq. yd.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The fabric of the invention can be either a knitted or a woven ~abric. The fabric is of a medium weight.
One fabric of this invention, described more fully in Example 1 is a stretchable knit mesh. The mesh can be manu-factured on a 14 gauge tricot machine, or alternatively on a 28 gauge Raschel warp knit machine using a 2-bar construction.
On either ot these machines, the mesh is not heat set.
The yarn used in knitting the mesh can be between about 150 to 600 denier with between 1 and 5 turns per inch of twist. Preferably, the mesh has a lock stitch construction for nonravelling.
The usefulness of this fabric is primarily in the area of organ repair. Specifically, this fabric may be most useful in soft organ repair, e.g., the spleen, liver or kidney.
This fabric may also be useful in the repair of the pancreas.
Finally, the utility of this fabric is as an organ sling during internal healing of the organ. However, this fabric can also be used as a retraction sling ~or other purposes, e.g. as a retraction sling for irradiation therapy.
Another fabric described in Examples 2 and 3 is a semistretchable knit mesh. It can be knit on a 28 gauge tricot machine using a l-bar construction. The mesh can be knit from a yarn h~ving about 30 to 100 denier.
The usetulness of this semistretchable knit mesh is in abdominal wall repair, hernia repair, or in oral surgery, as a temporary support or as a packing material ~or en-couragement of tissue ingrowth.
Another fabric of this invention, which is describ-ed more fully in Examples 4 snd 5, is also a knit tabric. The ~abric is heat set without stretching, and is stabilized. The heat set can be on a tenter frame. The fabric can be manut'actured on a 24 gauge tricot or 48 gauge Raschel machine using a 2-bar construction.

The fabric can be between about 75 to 250 denier with between about 1/4 to 5 turns per inch. Preferably, the fabric is also manufactured using a chain stitch for stability.
The utility of this iabric can be in abdominal wall repair. Other uses can be for the repair of diaphragm defects.
Still other uses can be as a rectal support for recurrent pro-lapse. Finally, the fabric may be useful for tracheal malacia.
- Still another fabric of this invention, described in Examples 6 and 7, is a weave. The weave is stabilized. The fabric is manufactured on a loom.
The product is made from yarns of between about 150 to 350 denier. The warp yarn has between about 4 to 10 turns per inch of twist and the weft yarn has between about 1/4 to 5 turns per inch of twist. The weave can be plain or it can have other configurations, e.g. twill or satin. Finally, the woven ~abric has a water porosity of about zero to 1000 ml/min/cm2 at 120 mm of mercury.
