An implantable prosthesis (20) for repairing an abdominal wall defect is disclosed. The implantable prosthesis comprises a soft tissue repair patch (22)； a pair of straps (24,26) extending away from the patch, each strap having a cross-section with a width and thickness, the width being greater than the thickness. Each strap extends a sufficient length from the patch to extend through the abdominal wall defect when the patch is on one side of the defect so that a portion of the strap is on the other side of the defect and is adapted to be pulled by a user to position the soft tissue repair patch and/or to be secured to tissue to anchor the soft tissue repair patch.
