Abstract
A hernia repair prosthesis with an occlusive member for inserting into and/or backing the herniated tissue. An overlay sheet is attached to the occlusive member by a filament which permits the occlusive member and the overlay sheet to slide relative to one another along the filament allowing the maximal positioning of the overlay sheet to provide the best surgical attachment, orientation and alignment with the patient's anatomy.
