MANUFACTURER
Gore
DESCRIPTION
e-‐PTFE mesh for intraperitoneal placement
For reconstruction of hernias or soft tissue deficiencies, surgeons require a prosthesis affording a secure repair with decreased risk of recurrence, increased patient comfort postoperatively, and minimal complications such as adhesions and fistula formation.
The GORE-‐TEX® Soft Tissue Patch has long been the prosthetic patch of choice for soft tissue repairs. Composed of the inert biomaterial expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), it features a microporous structure allowing for host tissue incorporation. GORE-‐TEX® Soft Tissue Patch meets the unique challenges of laparoscopic hernia repair and inguinal herniorrhaphy, as well as temporary bridging of fascial defects. It is contraindicated for the reconstruction of cardiovascular and orthopedic defects.
The GORE-‐TEX® Soft Tissue Patch has material and suture/staple retention strength greater than the most commonly used meshes. The biological inertness of the prosthesis, combined with softness and conformability in vivo, minimizes foreign-‐body response, erosion into the bowel, and adhesions to surrounding viscera.
The GORE-‐TEX® Soft Tissue Patch offers ease of handling, including cutting and shaping to size without fraying. Pre-‐configured patches requiring little or no trimming before implantation are also
provided.
ADVANTAGES
• Composed of the inert biomaterial expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), it features a microporous structure allowing for host tissue incorporation.
• Unique challenges of laparoscopic hernia repair and inguinal herniorrhaphy

Omyra® Mesh
MANUFACTURER
B Braum
DESCRIPTION
c-‐PTFE mesh for intraperitoneal placement
Omyra® Mesh brings a new concept for hernia repair within the antiadhesive mesh group. It is a film of condensed polytetrafluoroethylene (cPTFE) with very low density (0.9 g/cm3) and a macroporous star-‐shaped structure (2.4 mm). Omyra® Mesh is the first mesh in a monolayer, non-‐coated format which has antiadhesive and bacterial resistant properties. The cPTFE material improves the adhesion prevention features of the traditional expanded PTFE, whereas the star-‐macroporous structures enhance a fast tissue integration like the one achieved with polypropylene meshes. Furthermore, the transparent monolayer that Omyra® Mesh provides, offers excellent handling, especially in laparoscopic procedures.
ADVANTAGES
• Highly biocompatible with star pore structures • Macropores to allow an excellent tissue
integration • Fast neo-‐peritoneum formation covering the
mesh • Impairment of bacterial growth • Reduction of adhesion formation • Condensed PTFE • Transparent and tailorable ensuring an optimal
handling
