Method Of Making Hernia Patch And Resulting Product
US Patent:
2007026, Nov 15, 2007
Filed:
May 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/431171
Inventors:
Roderick Brown - Glenwood MN, US
Michael Afremov - St. Louis Park MN, US
Michael Afremov - St. Louis Park MN, US
Assignee:
Minnesota Medical Development - Plymouth MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/02
US Classification:
623023720
Abstract:
A hernia patch comprising a frame made of a plurality of strands made from a shape memory alloy wound together as a cable and a prosthetic mesh material attached to the cable frame. The cable frame forms a loop of a predetermined shape when unconstrained. The cable frame cam is rolled or folded into a tight cylindrical shape and inserted into a small diameter trocar. When the hernia patch is ejected out of the trocar into the patient's abdominal cavity, the frame warms to the point where the alloy is in its austenite form so that it springs to a functional, predetermined configuration. Alternatively, the superelastic properties of the alloy cause the frame to return to the predetermined configuration. The frame is integral with the prosthetic mesh material so that it will not migrate and therefore will not need to be sutured or stapled in place.
Segmented Hernia Patch Frame
US Patent:
2014005, Feb 27, 2014
Filed:
Aug 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/595182
Inventors:
Roderick B. Brown - Glenwood MN, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
US Classification:
606151
Abstract:
A hernia repair prosthesis comprises a segmented frame forming a closed loop where a first segment comprises a helical hollow tube and a second segment comprises a solid strand. Both segments are preferably a metal exhibiting shape memory properties and the two segments are assembled with end portions of the second segment inserted into the lumen at opposed end portions of the first segment with a clearance fit. A prosthetic fabric is attached to the segmented frame.
Patch For Endoscopic Repair Of Hernias
US Patent:
2009027, Oct 29, 2009
Filed:
Apr 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/108876
Inventors:
Roderick B. Brown - Glenwood MN, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/02, A61B 17/08
US Classification:
623 2372, 606151
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a method of repairing a hernia may include one or more of the following steps: (a) introducing a patch prosthesis into a patient, (b) positioning the patch prosthesis over the hernia, (c) removing a wire frame from the patch prosthesis and the patient, (d) wrapping the patch prosthesis, (e) allowing the patch prosthesis to unwrap, (f) removing a removable stitch coupling the wire frame and a prosthetic fabric, and (g) securing the prosthetic fabric to the patient.
Patch For Endoscopic Repair Of Hernias
US Patent:
5824082, Oct 20, 1998
Filed:
Jul 14, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/892533
Inventors:
Roderick B. Brown - Glenwood MN
International Classification:
A61F 202, A61F 206
US Classification:
623 11
Abstract:
A prosthesis for use in hernia repair surgery having a preformed prosthetic fabric supported along its periphery by shape memory alloy wire having a transformation temperature corresponding to normal body temperature allowing the prosthesis to be tightly rolled into a cylindrical configuration for delivery through a laparoscopic instrument and which deploys to a predetermined shape as it warms up to body temperature.
Apparatus And Method For Pelvic Floor Repair In The Human Female
US Patent:
2010026, Oct 14, 2010
Filed:
Apr 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/421116
Inventors:
Philip A. Townsend - Brooksville FL, US
Michael Afremov - St Louis Park MN, US
Roderick B. Brown - Glenwood MN, US

Assignee:
Minnesota Medical Development, Inc. - Plymouth MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/00
US Classification:
600 37
Abstract:
A prosthesis for addressing pelvic organ prolapse in females comprises a frame fabricated from a shape memory material that supports a thin, flexible sheet in a stretched condition when the frame is unconstrained. The frame is shaped so as to conform to and be supported by bone structures and muscle tissue in the pelvic basin while providing needed support to pelvic organs to maintain them in a proper position. The use of a shape memory material allows the prosthesis to be rolled or folded into a reduced size for ease of placement through a small incision in the wall of the vagina, but that springs back to its memorized shape following deployment from a delivery sheath.
