Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An implantable prosthesis (20) for a tissue or muscle defect is disclosed. The implantable prosthesis comprising a first layer (22a) of material that permits tissue or muscle ingrowth and a second layer (22b) of material attached to the first layer that permits tissue or muscle ingrowth. At least one pocket (32) is formed between the first and second layers which includes an access opening (34) for gaining access to an interior of the at least one pocket. A layer of barrier material that is resistant to tissue or muscle ingrowth and the formation of adhesions with tissue or muscle is attached to at least the second layer and the second layer is located between the first layer and the layer of barrier material. A peripheral edge (24) defines a boundary of the prosthesis and the access opening is disposed inward of the peripheral edge.
