Frequently asked questions
Does this mesh eliminate the need for mechanical tacks?
Yes. The ProGrip mesh features over 5,000 atraumatic microgrips that provide secure tissue adherence, effectively replacing the need for traditional mechanical tacks or surgical glues during laparoscopic hernia repair.
How does this mesh reduce long-term foreign material?
The design is specifically engineered for patient comfort by being partially absorbable. Approximately 40% of the mesh weight is resorbable, which significantly decreases the total volume of foreign material remaining in the patient’s body after the healing process.
Is this mesh effective in hard-to-reach anatomical areas?
Absolutely. Because it utilizes integrated microgrips rather than restricted mechanical fixation tools, it offers superior anatomical conformity. This allows surgeons to achieve secure fixation over the entire anatomy, including challenging areas below the inguinal ligament.
Will this mesh stick to itself during surgery?
No. The mesh is specifically designed to resist self-adhesion. This specialized property is a key feature that simplifies the handling, maneuvering, and unfolding process within the laparoscopic environment.
Is the material safe for delicate tissue structures?
Yes. The more than 5,000 microgrips are atraumatic, meaning they are designed to provide firm, reliable adherence while ensuring that sensitive cord and nerve structures are preserved during placement.
What is the primary material composition of the mesh?
The mesh is composed of Polyethylene Monofilament Terephthalate. It is a partially absorbable monofilament specifically selected for its balance of structural integrity and patient-friendly absorption characteristics.
Is the device ready for immediate sterile use?
Yes. Each unit is provided sterile and arrives in a protective, sterile-sealed inner pouch to ensure the device remains uncontaminated and ready for immediate clinical application upon opening.
How does the self-fixating design affect surgery time?
By eliminating the extra steps required to apply mechanical tacks or glues, the integrated self-fixation system streamlines the surgical procedure, allowing for a more efficient workflow for the surgical team.
What is the standard size for this specific model?
This model (Catalog Number: LPG1612) comes in a standard 12 X 16 cm rectangular shape, providing an ideal surface area for consistent anatomical reinforcement.
Is this mesh suitable for laparoscopic procedures?
Yes, it is explicitly engineered as a laparoscopic self-fixating mesh. Its flat-style design and anti-adhesion properties are tailored specifically to meet the high-precision requirements of laparoscopic hernia repair.
