Parietex™ Optimized Composite (PCOx) mesh offers a resorbable collagen barrier on one side to limit visceral attachments and a three-dimensional polyester knit structure on the other to promote differentiated tissue ingrowth and ease of use.
Based on the proven performance of original PCO, PCOx is the next generation of Parietex™ Composite mesh. It is engineered to better address surgeon and patient needs in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. The new design incorporates a more resistant barrier and a proprietary textile design with better visibility and increased strength([FOOTNOTE=“Comparative study of textile tear and suture strength: Parietex™ Optimized Composite vs Parietex™ Composite.” Covidien internal test report 1003CR053.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]).
PCOx mesh promotes rapid abdominal wall integration([FOOTNOTE=Evaluation of the local tissue effects and tissue attachment minimization in a rat caecal adhesion model. BioMatech (NAMSA), France.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]), minimizes visceral attachments([FOOTNOTE=Gonzalez et al.
