Frequently asked questions
Does this mesh support rapid tissue integration?
Yes, the PROLENE Hernia System is specifically engineered with large pores designed to promote rapid tissue in-growth and efficient capillary penetration for a more successful repair.
Is this design effective at preventing recurrence?
The system provides a double-layered reconstruction of the transversalis fascia. By covering the entire Myopectineal orifice and safeguarding both the femoral and inguinal regions, it is designed to significantly lower the possibility of hernia recurrence.
Does the mesh shrink after application?
The device is constructed from a specialized polypropylene monofilament knit. This material is specifically engineered to provide high durability while exhibiting minimal shrinkage following the maturation of scar tissue.
How does the three-dimensional design improve the repair process?
The integrated 3D design consists of an onlay patch connected to a circular underlay patch. This provides:
- Enhanced support by overlapping the pubic tubercle.
- Simplified placement mimicking plug repair simplicity.
- Increased stability within the preperitoneal space.
Does this device require extensive suturing?
The PROLENE Hernia System is designed for minimally invasive application. Its architectural design is intended to minimize or even eliminate the need for sutures, reducing procedural complexity while maintaining high reliability.
Is the material durable for long-term support?
Yes, it is manufactured from nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament. This material is chosen for its long-term strength, chemical stability, and ability to remain inert within the body to provide consistent, reliable support.
What areas of the canal are protected by the onlay patch?
The onlay patch is precision-engineered to cover the entire floor of the canal. It is designed to overlap the pubic tubercle, ensuring comprehensive coverage and enhanced mechanical support.
Is this device suitable for all surgical settings?
This device is intended for use by trained medical professionals specifically within hospital or professional surgical center environments to perform inguinal hernia repairs.
Is the mesh sterile upon arrival?
Yes, every PROLENE Hernia System device is provided as a sterile, ready-to-use medical component to ensure safety in a clinical environment.
Why is the undyed color significant?
The use of undyed polypropylene monofilament ensures that the material remains as chemically inert as possible, reducing the potential for tissue reactivity while maintaining the structural integrity required for the mesh knit.
