Mesh Products

Symbotex™ composite mesh provides surgeons improved ease of use, with easy mesh deployment and placement within the abdominal cavity. It also brings optimal performance for patients with excellent tissue integration and minimized visceral attachments.

Symbotex™ mesh is available in a large variety of shapes and sizes for laparoscopic hernia repair, with specific subranges dedicated to laparoscopic and open surgery.

Designed to address key issues in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, ProGrip™ laparoscopic self-fixating mesh delivers tack-free fixation over the entire anatomy([FOOTNOTE=0Kolbe, T, Hollinsky, C, Walter, I, Joachim, A, and Rülicke, T.

Parietex™ Composite ventral patch is a mesh specifically designed for small ventral hernia repair. The shape, size, and the specific fixation and deployment system have been designed for optimal abdominal wall conformability and easy deployment and fixation([FOOTNOTE=Based on internally sponsored preclinical study report #0506-141814, Report 10 days and 4 weeks implantation study in a porcine model, March 2012, and report #0506-141814, Report 10 days and 4 weeks implantation study – amendment 1, June 2012.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]).

Two unique sides. One unique mesh.

A mesh designed to offer a balanced combination of macroporosity, surface density, and mechanical strength for successful hernia repair.

Parietene™ macroporous mesh has been designed for a surgeon's ease of use during hernia repair procedures([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #T2291CR044, Physical and mechanical properties of Parietene™ macroporous mesh.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]). A Polypropylene microporous based mesh.

While there are many options when it comes to hernia repair, we continue to lead the way in developing hernia repair products that strike the right balance between performance, ease-of-use and cost-effectiveness.

Parietene™ macroporous mesh is one of our latest high-quality mesh that helps facilitate seamless surgical procedures with successful patient outcomes^†,1,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #T2291CR037, Parietene™ macroporous mesh evaluation by surgeons for design validation.

Parietex ProGrip™ self-fixating mesh delivers security, patient comfort and ease of use. Its advanced microgrip technology provides immediate fixation([FOOTNOTE=Data on file.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) 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 seconds([FOOTNOTE=Philippe Chastan, MD (2006). “Tension-Free Open Inguinal Hernia Repair Using an Innovative Self-Gripping Semi-Resorbable Mesh.” Journal of Minimal Access Surgery; pp 139-43.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]), without the use of additional fixation([FOOTNOTE=Additional fixation is at the surgeon’s discretion.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]). Surgeons and patients can depend on a secure repair with the potential for greater patient comfort.

All Parietex™ products are created from a macroporous polyester material which produce superior cellular proliferation when compared to polypropylene mesh in vitro.([FOOTNOTE=Lefranc, O., Codoro, C., Vernier, A., Hadba, A., Gravagna, P. and Therin, M. (2009). “PET vs. PP Mesh Constructs and Their Influence on L929 Fibroblasts Adhesion and Proliferation.” EHS/AHS. Springer. Berlin, Hernia. 13: 64-72.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

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. Resistance to adhesion formation: A comparative study of treated and untreated mesh products placed in the abdominal cavity. Hernia (2004) 8: 213–219. This study is sponsored by Covidien. Dr. Ramshaw is a current consultant of Covidien. Dr. Rodeheaver is a former consultant of Covidien.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) and facilitates strong tack fixation¹⁶.

The latest addition to the Parietex™ family of synthetic mesh is easy to use, allowing surgeons to maintain their proven technique and designed to deliver enhanced patient comfort and intra-operative security through its unique design.

• Easy to Use: Designed for the standard plug and patch technique.
• Effective: Developed for the proven plug and patch repair that yields low recurrence rates while providing consistent reproducible results([FOOTNOTE=Zhao, G. (2009) Open Mesh Techniques for Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Annals of Surgery; Vol. 250, Number 1, July 2009.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]).
• Conforms to Defect: Resorbable microgrips enable plug to conform to the defect size and shape while providing additional security prior to suture fixation([FOOTNOTE=The disk must be adequately fixated in order to minimize the risk of migration. We recommend the use of nonabsorbable fixation.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]).

Parietex™ Optimized Composite Open Skirt (PCO OSx) mesh provides a new level of control during open ventral hernia repair. The open skirted (OS) design has increased rigidity for easier handling during implantation in open incisional and ventral hernia repair.

The skirted flap on the parietal side of the mesh allows for more easily accessible fixation points in the open approach. The skirt provides an area of fixation protected from the viscera on one side and allows fixation to the abdominal wall without disrupting the collagen film.

Parietex™ Composite (PCO) parastomal mesh is a monofilament mesh providing a custom design for parastomal hernia repair. While ordinary meshes carry the risk of in-growth into the bowel, Parietex™ Composite is coated with a protective collagen-based film to help prevent tissue attachment. Its unique design provides for easy placement of the mesh for parastomal hernia repair.

All Parietex™ products are created from a macroporous polyester material whose properties invite healthy tissue integration and mesh compliance while reducing encapsulation.([FOOTNOTE=William S. Cobb, MD; Kent W. Kercher, MD; and B. Todd Heniford, MD. “The Argument for Lightweight Polypropylene Mesh in Hernia Repair.” Surgical Innovation, Vol 12, No 1 (March), 2005: pp 63-69.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

Parietex™ Composite (PCO) hiatal mesh makes the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia viable. While ordinary meshes can carry the risk of in-growth into the esophagus, Parietex™ Composite is coated on one side with a protective collagen-based film to help minimize tissue attachment. Its unique design provides for easy placement of the mesh for hiatal hernia repair.

Parietex™ mesh provides a custom-designed mesh for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It combines Parietex™ 2D weave with Parietex™ 3D weave.

The 2D weave is lightweight and macroporous with a design that is rigid, making it ideal for laparoscopic applications due to its handling properties.

The 3D weave is also a lightweight, macroporous mesh but has a design that provides compliance and softness. This softness allows for gentle placement over sensitive nerve and vessel structures in the inguinal area.

All Parietex™ products are created from a macroporous polyester material whose properties invite healthy tissue integration and mesh compliance while reducing encapsulation.²¹

Parietex™ flat sheet mesh comes in both 2D weaves (TEC) and 3D weaves (TET) designs.

The 2D weave is a lightweight, macroporous mesh with a design that is rigid, making it ideal for laparoscopic applications due to its handling properties.

The 3D weave is also a lightweight, macroporous mesh but has a design that provides softness. This 3D weave allows for compliance and isometric movement with the patient. Its macroporous nature provides optimal cell ingrowth.

All Parietex™ products are created from a macroporous polyester material whose properties invite healthy tissue integration and mesh compliance while reducing encapsulation.²¹
