Versatex™ monofilament mesh is composed of polyester material and large pore size, which are the main determinants of local tissue tolerance (successful mesh integration and favorable tissue response).†,2,3,([FOOTNOTE=Based on Covidien internal test report # T2306CR022a assessing safety and local tolerance. October 2014.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

Versatex™ mesh is designed to simplify intra-operative handling for surgeons through improved visualization, ease of mesh positioning, and wide selection of mesh sizes.([FOOTNOTE=Based on Covidien internal test report # T2306CR044a evaluating design for improved visualization during placement.
