摘要：An implantable prosthesis for an anatomical defect, such as a tissue or muscledefect, that promotes tissue or muscle growth into the prosthesis and subsequently

strengthens the area of the defect. At least one pocket and preferably two concentricpockets may be provided to aid with manipulating the prosthesis. Where two pockets areused, a barrier or partition exists between the pockets and the outer pocket allowsmanipulation of the outer periphery. The incidence of postoperative adhesions between aportion of the prosthesis and tissue, muscle or organs may be minimized with the use of abarrier layer. Reinforcing members may be attached to portions of the prosthesis to aidin positioning and deployment in the area of desired coverage without rendering theprosthesis unduly difficult to implant or uncomfortable for the patient. Typically, twoconcentric members are employed. Further, the prosthesis is constructed to allow it tobe provisionally held in place at desired locations by openings in the pockets that allowaccess for a stapler or sewing device.
