ABSTRACT:
Surgically implantable hernia mesh patches are available in several embodiments, wherein each embodiment has double like size layers of inert synthetic mesh material, compressibly positioning an internally positioned loop of a resilient monofilament fiber, when these double layers of mesh are sewn together around their edges, while leaving one centimeter free of both top and bottom layers of mesh. During operating time of a surgical repair of an inguinal hernia, one of these hernia mesh patches is compactively arranged and then inserted through a relatively small incision, for subsequent planar expansion and directed placement to where the hernia is, usually under minimal anesthesia, without the need for entering a patient's abdominal cavity, and without the need to use instrumentation, such as laparoscopic equipment. One of the double layers has a transverse slit for the insertion of a surgeon's finger between these layers of mesh, which facilitates a surgeon's maneuvering and positioning of these double layers of mesh, being always expanded by the loop of resilient monofilament fiber, within a patient's preperitoneal pocket volume to serve as this surgical patch without sutures. The other embodiments have very worthwhile additive features.
