ProGrip™ Self-Gripping Polyester Mesh

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.([FOOTNOTE=Hopson SB, Miller LE. Open ventral hernia repair using ProGrip™ self-gripping mesh. Int J Surg. 2015;23(Pt A):137–140.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])^,([FOOTNOTE=Kapischke M, Schulze H, Caliebe A. Self-fixating mesh for the Lichtenstein procedure: a prestudy. Langenbecks Arch Surg. 2010;395(4):317–322. This study was conducted with Parietene ProGrip™ mesh.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

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^4,([FOOTNOTE=Hollinsky C, Kolbe T, Walter I, et al.

Semi-Resorbable Mesh

Fifty percent of material left after PLA absorption([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #RAT021, PLA degradation report. 2014],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

Macroporosity

Favors better tissue integration and supports a lower foreign body reaction ([FOOTNOTE=Weyhe D, Cobb W, Lecuivre J, et al.

Resorbable Microgrips

Provide immediate fixation with limited need for additional fixation^1,3,([FOOTNOTE=Verhelst J, de Goede B, Kleinrensink GJ, Jeekel J, Lange JF, van Eeghem KH.
