Abstract
A device for surgically repairing and reinforcing a hernia includes a hernia prosthesis having a substantially planar base portion and an overlay portion, each formed from a biocompatible material. The overlay portion is peripherally attached to the base portion to define a pocket to receive a surgical instrument or a surgeon's finger for placing the prosthesis within the human body. The pocket may be formed with releasable stitching to enable it to be flattened or removed after placement and may contain a resilient member that urges the prosthesis into a flat configuration.
