ProGrip™ Self-Gripping Polyester Mesh

Product Details

ProGrip™ self-gripping mesh — a proven technology in tissue reinforcement for nearly a decade — is now helping prevent hernias after laparotomies.16,17

Specifications

Specifications

Features

We want to help patients avoid the pain of incisional hernias, and save healthcare systems the time and expense of having to treat them. ProGrip™ self-gripping poluester mesh does both.

ProGrip™ self-gripping mesh:

Provides immediate tension-free fixation on the entire surface of the mesh — and offers surgical efficiencies and patient benefits.18,19

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 comfortable4,20,21

Semi-Resorbable Mesh

Fifty percent of material left after PLA absorption22

Macroporosity

Favors better tissue integration and supports a lower foreign body reaction 23-24

Resorbable Microgrips

Provide immediate fixation with limited need for additional fixation1,3,25

Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh

Product Details

The benefits of real anatomical design26,27

The uniquely designed Dextile™ anatomical mesh is an easy-to-use solution that can provide the positive patient outcomes clinicians want.28

Parietex ProGrip™ Self-Fixating Mesh

Product Details

Parietex ProGrip™ self-fixating mesh delivers security, patient comfort and ease of use. Its advanced microgrip technology provides immediate fixation29 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 seconds30, without the use of additional fixation31. 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.32
