Immobilization means between a mesh and mesh deployment means especially useful for hernia repair surgeries

摘要

A hernia repair system comprising: an expandable deployment device (3) adapted to deploy a hernia repair patch (2) into a patient's body where the deployment device (3) has a reduced configuration for supplying the hernia repair patch to a site within the patient and an expanded configuration to deploy the hernia repair patch; and an immobilization component (200) extending from the deployment device (3), characterized in that the immobilization component (200) has a non-retracted configuration adapted for at least one fixing or detachment action of the repair patch of hernia with respect to the deployment device (3) and a retracted configuration adapted to fix the hernia repair patch (2) to the deployment device (3), where the immobilization component (200) is adapted to pass through of the hernia repair patch in the non-retracted configuration and to remain passed through the hernia repair patch in the retracted configuration in order to fix the hernia repair patch to the deployment device (3).
