Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for surgery such as transluminal and / or intracavitary placement of surgical patches at the surgical site. The term "patch" as used herein means any type of patch for use in surgical procedures, for example, a mesh that can be attached to the abdominal wall. Although described herein with reference to a hernia surgical patch, the method of the present disclosure can be used in any surgical repair.

[0018] In the following figures and description, the term "proximal" will conventionally refer to the end of the device closer to the user, and the term "distal" will refer to the end of the device further away from the user.

[0019] Now referring to the specific details of the drawings, the same numbers in the drawings indicate similar or identical parts. Figure 1A Illustrated is a hernia that may involve a break 30 in the abdominal wall 40. The abdominal wall 40 is defined by an outer side 40a and an inner side 4...

Abstract

A hernia repair system includes a surgical patch, a dispenser, and a plurality of sutures. The surgical patch is movable between a contracted orientation and an expanded orientation. The dispenser includes a housing and a plunger. The housing defines a lumen. The plunger is movably secured within the lumen. The housing is configured to releasably retain the surgical patch within the lumen in the contracted orientation of the surgical patch. The plunger is configured to expel the surgical patch from the housing upon the selective actuation of the plunger from a first position to a second position. The surgical patch is autonomously positionable in the expanded orientation upon being expelled from the lumen. The plurality of sutures are configured to securely mount the surgical patch to a tissue site when the surgical patch is positioned in the expanded orientation.

Description

[0001] background Technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for the application of surgical patches. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for deploying and securing surgical patches to the tissue site of the hernia. Background technique [0003] A hernia is a protrusion of tissue, structure, or part of an organ that passes through damaged muscle tissue or damaged membrane, and under normal circumstances, the tissue, structure, or organ is contained by the muscle tissue or membrane. Some examples of hernias include: abdominal hernia, diaphragmatic hernia and hiatal hernia (for example, paraesophageal hernia of the stomach), pelvic hernia (for example, obturator hernia), anal hernia, nucleus pulposus hernia of the intervertebral disc, intracranial hernia, and half moon Line hernia. [0004] Hernias can be repaired surgically, mainly by pushing back or "reducing" the herniated tissue, and then strengthening the ...
