Parietex ProGrip™ Self-Fixating Mesh

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.
