In hernia repair, surgeons want to balance security and patient comfort with ease of use. Parietex ProGrip™ self-‐ fixating mesh delivers all three. Its advanced microgrip technology provides immediate fixation1 of the entire mesh surface for a secure repair and even distribution of tension for patient comfort. Designed for ease of use, the resorbable polylactic acid (PLA) microgrips enable surgeons to position and place the mesh in under 60 seconds2, without the use of additional fixation1. Surgeons and patients can depend on a secure repair with the potential for greater patient comfort.

It is also clear that not all meshes “feel” the same, handle the same and most important, do not deliver the same clinical outcome. Only one has been carefully engineered to deliver the now proven performance results, preferred by most surgeons and patients alike. Less pain, enhanced patient comfort, fewer recurrences or complications are all desirable characteristics that cannot be achieved with just any prosthetic mesh implant. Atrium utilizes a unique knit construction whereby its monofilaments are aligned in parallell spaced angles, to maximize material flexibility in two dimensions. No bulky "rails" of compacted or flattened filaments, just a smooth and very uniform open architecture. Next we developed a proprietary material process to help "relax and stabilize" the mesh polymer so it responds to flexing and handling without classic "window shade" memory, commonly found with more traditional, less flexible polypropylene constructions. Surgical mesh and plug innovations evolved from experts in biomaterial science. ADVANTAGES • http://www.atriummed.com/en/biosurgery/prolite.asp PICTURES NAME of the products PROLITE™ Ultra Mesh MANUFACTURER Atrium DESCRIPTION Atrium's ProLite Ultra™ Mesh is the next generation of thin wall polypropylene mesh for laparoscopic and traditional hernia surgery and general soft tissue repair. Its unique Litemesh™ polypropylene microfilament construction issofter and more supple than traditional mesh products and slightly thinnerthan Atrium’s ProLite™ mesh. ADVANTAGES For those surgeons who demand a thinner, better handling and more flexible polyproplylene mesh, you need to look no further than ProLite Ultra™. http://www.atriummed.com/en/biosurgery/prolite-‐ ultra.asp PICTURES NAME of the products C-‐QUR™ FX Mesh MANUFACTURER Atrium DESCRIPTION Designed for open and laparoscopic hernia repair when a tissue separating layer is not needed, C-‐QUR™ FX filament coated mesh is the open pore ProLite™ family of polypropylene mesh with an absorbable, 30-‐day, all-‐natural pharmaceutical gradeOmega 3 fatty acid (O3FA) coating. The open pores and filament coating help promote rapid, more complete incorporation throughout. The O3FA filament coating incites a less severe inflammatory response when compared to bare polymer meshes allowing for less fibrous formation and less rigid tissue incorporation. ADVANTAGES Atrium has carefully researched and tested C-‐QUR™ FX to ensure the optimization of necessary mechanical features for a strong, long lasting repair. By all measures, C-‐QUR™ FX Mesh outperforms all “bare polymer” products in terms of ease-‐of-‐use. The smooth O3FA coating provides uncompromised memory with significantly improved handling. The O3FA filament coating also enhances tight trocar “roll up capability” with minimal to no “edge curl” following laparoscopic deployment. C-‐QUR™ FX Mesh “lays flat” and “glides” along tissue for unmatched surgical convenience and ideal “anatomical conformance.” http://www.atriummed.com/en/biosurgery/cqur-‐fx.asp PICTURES NAME of the products DynaMesh-‐LICHTENSTEIN MANUFACTURER Dynamesh DESCRIPTION Material: 100% PVDF (Polyvinylidene monofilament Effective porosity: 65.5 % 1) Reactive surface: 1.38 m²/m² 31 N Fluoride) ADVANTAGES Excellent Material: 100% PVDF Anatomic Correct Design Atraumatic Selvedges Optimal Handling http://en.dyna-‐mesh.com/aplprod/hernia/lichtenstein-‐gb/ PICTURES NAME of the products DynaMesh-‐CICAT MANUFACTURER Dynamesh DESCRIPTION Material: Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) Monofilament Pore size: 3 x 3 / 3 x 2 mm Effective porosity: 60 % Maximum stability: > 32 N/cm Maximum tear propagation resistance: > 26 N ADVANTAGES Excellent Material: 100% PVDF High tear propagation resistance Tri-‐Elasticity adapted to the biomechanical characteristics of the abdominal wall Unique application Excellent porosity for fast incorporation Antislip surface http://en.dyna-‐mesh.com/aplprod/hernia/cicat-‐gb/ PICTURES NAME of the products DynaMesh-‐CICAT MANUFACTURER Dynamesh DESCRIPTION Material: 100% PVDF (Polyvinylidene monofilament Effective porosity: 63.4 % Reactive surface: 1.35 m2/m2 Suture pull out strength: 31 N Tear propagation resistance: 21 N Fixation: all common fixation methods Fluoride) ADVANTAGES Especially engineered for endoscopic and laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias Excellent Material: 100 % PVDF Perfect Mesh Structure Atraumatic Selvedges http://en.dyna-‐mesh.com/aplprod/hernia/endolap-‐gb/ PICTURES NAME of the products DynaMesh-‐PP Standard MANUFACTURER Dynamesh DESCRIPTION DynaMesh-‐PP mesh implants, light and standard version, can be used for all common open and laparoscopic techniques of inguinal or incisional hernia repair Material:100% Polypropylene (PP) monofilament Weight: 72 g/m² Thickness: 0.7 mm Pore size: 1.4 mm x 1.8 mm Effective porosity: 21 % Reactive surface: 1.91 m²/m² Max. stability: 59 N/cm Physiol. elasticity at 32 N/cm: 25 % Max. suture pull out strength: 43 N ADVANTAGES Excellent bio-‐compatibility Very good ageing resistance Excellent memory effect Optimal dynamometrical properties http://en.dyna-‐mesh.com/aplprod/hernia/pp-‐gb/ PICTURES NAME of the products DynaMesh-‐PP Light MANUFACTURER Dynamesh DESCRIPTION DynaMesh-‐PP mesh implants, light and standard version, can be used for all common open and laparoscopic techniques of inguinal or incisional hernia repair Material:100% Polypropylene (PP) monofilament Weight: 36 g/m² Thickness: 0.6 mm Pore size: 1.6 mm x 2.6mm Effective porosity: 42 % Reactive surface: 1.11 m²/m² Max. stability: 38 N/cm Physiol. elasticity at 32 N/cm: 34 % Max. suture pull out strength: 30 N ADVANTAGES Excellent bio-‐compatibility Very good ageing resistance Excellent memory effect Optimal dynamometrical properties http://en.dyna-‐mesh.com/aplprod/hernia/pp-‐gb/ PICTURES NAME of the products Basic-‐M MANUFACTURER Dipromed DESCRIPTION Medium weight and low density polypropylene, non-‐ absorbable mesh ADVANTAGES lndications:Treatment of the abdominal wall defects in open or laparoscopie surgery http://www.dipromed.eu/?page_id=267 PICTURES NAME of the products Bulev MANUFACTURER Dipromed DESCRIPTION Macroporous lightweight monofilament ADVANTAGES mesh in polypropylene Easy handling, new balance between weight and stability http://www.dipromed.eu/?page_id=273 PICTURES NAME of the products P3-‐Basic MANUFACTURER Dipromed DESCRIPTION Treatment of inguinal hernias in open surgery ADVANTAGES http://www.dipromed.eu/?page_id=277 PICTURES NAME of the products P3-‐Evolution MANUFACTURER Dipromed DESCRIPTION Macroporous lightweight monofilament mesh in polypropylene ADVANTAGES Easy handling, new balance between weight and stability http://www.dipromed.eu/?page_id=279 PICTURES NAME of the products FlaPp – ClearMesh Composite MANUFACTURER Dipromed DESCRIPTION 2P-‐FlaPp CMC is a transparent, lightweight, ultra-‐thin, nonabsorbable surgical prosthesis in polypropylene, made by a monofilament macroporous mesh and a transparent film in order to minimize the adhesion formations. 2P-‐FlaPp CMC is a cutting prosthesis, according to instruction for use.
