ProGrip™ self-gripping polyester mesh: specifically designed for suture-line reinforcement

Actor Portrayal

PREVENT HERNIAS. PROTECT PATIENTS.

A NEWSOLUTIONFOR HERNIAPREVENTION.

EASY AND EFFECTIVE TO USEProGrip™ self-gripping polyester mesh helps prevent hernias after laparotomies.1,4 It’s also easy to use5-8 and:

· Provides excellent tissue integration9,†, ‡

· Limits the need for additional fixation7,10,†

Recommended for PreventionCompared with laparotomy closure, prophylactic mesh has been shown to effectively decrease the incidence of incisional hernias.11,12 That’s regardless of mesh location or composition and without significantly increasing the odds of wound morbidity.

Both the International Endohernia Society and the European Hernia Society favour the elective use of prophylactic mesh placement for high-risk patients.13,14

ProGrip™ self-gripping polyester mesh provides a spread and balanced fixation on the entire surface of the mesh. Surgeons — and their patients — can have confidence in a mesh that provides immediate fixation that’s strong and durable.2,3,†

† Additional fixation is at the surgeon’s discretion.‡ Animal data is not necessarily indicative of clinical

outcomes in humans.

RESORBABLE MICROGRIPSProvide immediate fixation with limited need for additional fixation1,4,10,†

SEMI-RESORBABLE MESHLeaves 50 percent of material after polylactic acid (PLA) absorption15,‡

MACROPOROSITYFavours better tissue integration and supports a lower foreign body reaction16-19,‡
