Abstract
An implantable support apparatus includes a sheet of a flexible biocompatible material having apertures formed through end portions thereof to provide suture holes. A plurality of relatively larger apertures are formed through an intermediate portion of the sheet located between the end portions of the sheet to promote adhesion and improve integration of the apparatus into a patient's body. Threading mechanisms having elongated tubular projections are inserted into the apparatus at the end portions to facilitate threading sutures through such apertures.
