ProGrip™ self-gripping polyester mesh - a proven technology in tissue reinforcement for nearly a decade - is now helping prevent hernias after laparotomies.([FOOTNOTE=Sværdborg M, Damsgaard TE. Donor-site morbidity after pedicled TRAM breast reconstruction: a comparison of two different types of mesh. Ann Plast Surg. 2013;71(5):476–80.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
Provides immediate tension-free fixation on the entire surface of the mesh - and offers surgical efficiencies and patient benefits.([FOOTNOTE=Hopson SB, Miller LE.

It does this by combining monofilament polyester with a resorbable polylactic acid (PLA) microgrip technology. So surgeons get immediate fixation that is strong, durable and comfortable.3,([FOOTNOTE= Hollinsky C, Kolbe T, Walter I, et al.
