Abstract

See full text

A reinforcement device [10] comprises a biocompatible material such as a mesh sheet [12] for closing and reinforcing the closure of a surgical incision, including an elongated abdominal incision. The biocompatible material may provide one or more of a column of hooks [16a, 16b] or a column of apertures [31a, 31b] or markings [51a, 51b] to indicate where puncturing/suturing is to occur and/or where the device [10] is to be positioned. A disclosed ratio of suture [22] length to incision length is 4:1. The reinforcement device [10], when implanted through surgery, may reduce the likelihood of and/or prevent incisional hernias. The reinforcement device [10] may be included in a surgical kit.
