Description
Designed to offer good hernia repair performance†,1–6
Versatex™ monofilament mesh is composed of polyester material with large pore size. Material and pore size choice are the main determinants for local tolerance (facilitation of mesh integration and favorable tissue response).‡,6,7
Versatex™ monofilament mesh is designed to simplify intraoperative handling for surgeons through improved visualization and ease of mesh positioning, §,◊,8,9,
† A 3-D macroporous design facilitates excellent tissue integration and reduces complications related to mesh shrinkage and foreign body reaction.
‡ Based on preclinical animal and benchtop studies. Benchtop testing and animal data are not necessarily indicative of human clinical performance.
§ Based on pore size versus Bard®* mesh, Bard®* soft mesh, Prolene®*, Prolene®* soft, Mersilene®*, Optilene®* LP, Parietex™ 3-D, SurgiPro™ range, Parietene™, and Parietene™ light.
◊ Based on surgeon feedback; 7 out of 7 surgeons answered “Yes.” Marking available for mesh sizes ≥ 15 cm × 15 cm. Particular attention should be paid not to cut the green marking as it may detach from the mesh. If the mesh is trimmed, the marking may no longer be centered and may lose its functionality as a result.
