Abstract

A prosthetic screen tacking device (10, 20, 30, 40) includes a filament (12, 22, 32, 42) with at least one barb (18, 28, 38, 48) and a perpendicular foot (14, 24, 34, 44) at one end and optionally a loop (16) or needle (35, 45) at the other. When the needle (45) is present, a loop (46) can be provided between the barb(s) (48) and the needle (45). The barbs (18, 28, 38, 48) are situated near the foot (14, 24, 34, 44) and angulated in such a manner that they permit movement of the device (10, 20, 30, 40) through a prosthetic screen and body tissue in one direction, but prevent movement in the opposite direction toward the foot (14, 24, 34, 44). Methods of using the device with or without an associated button (111, 112) are also disclosed.
