Overview

Ventral hernia repair designed to help you1,2,4— and your patients

Parietene™ DS composite mesh is part of our commitment to offering solutions that can help you advance patient care.

It’s made from a transparent macroporous polypropylene that’s easy to work with because it’s not too soft or too rigid.1,2

Plus, on one side, we’ve given it an absorbable synthetic film to help minimize unwanted tissue attachment.3,†

The result is a balanced mesh that’s been designed with you — and your patients — in mind.

    • 1. Based on internal preclinical test report #T2294CR212, Design validation of Parietene™ DS composite mesh in surgeon labs: Evaluation performed through users test and questionnaire in a simulated use environment using a porcine model (n=7 surgeons). September 2016.
    • 2. Based on internal preclinical report #T2294CR212. Design validation of Parietene™ DS composite mesh in surgeon labs: Feedback collected from seven independent surgeons in a simulated use environment using a porcine model. September 2016.
    • 3. Based on NAMSA study #198929, Minimizing tissue attachment barrier performance, local tissue effects, and tissue integration of Parietene DS composite mesh in a rat cecal abrasion model. Based on occurrencerates of cecal soft tissue attachment to the mesh through macroscopic observations in the rat (n=18 test articles vs. n=12 bare mesh; p<0.05). October 2016.
    • 4. Based on internal test report #T2294CR105, Development phase technical file. February 2016.
    • 5. Based on internal test report #T2294CR225, Comparison of nonabsorbable textile reinforcement properties of composite meshes. Descriptive comparison of values were obtained from benchtop testing of the textiles constitutive of the devices. Properties measured included: burst strength, resistance to plunger test, tear strength, suture pull-out strength (n=5 per group), and uniaxial breaking strength (n=6 per group). November 2016.
