We’re here to help
Ready to experience the difference ProGrip™ self-gripping polypropylene mesh can make in your open inguinal hernia repair procedures?
Our Medtronic representatives have the knowledge and resources to help you decide if ProGrip™ mesh is right for you and your patients.
Mesh complications may include but are not limited to acute and chronic pain, extrusion/erosion, hematoma, infection, inflammation, recurrence and/or seroma.
ProGrip™ self-gripping polypropylene mesh is not intended to be used for laparoscopic hernia repair.
Do not place the mesh in direct contact with the viscera. Direct contact with the viscera may lead to risks of adhesions, fistula formation, and bowel obstruction. Do not implant the mesh in an intra-peritoneal position. When implanting in a pre-peritoneal site, the mesh shall be placed with the grips towards the muscle fascia with the mesh completely covered with peritoneum.
†The technique used to anchor the mesh (suture) is left up to the surgeon. The textile’s self-gripping feature makes it possible to position the mesh without fixation, depending on the size of the defect, the hernia position, and the quality of the anatomical structures.
‡Based on benchtop data. Benchtop data are not necessarily indicative of human clinical outcomes.
§Compared to procedures using traditional fixation.
ΩIf a mesh is trimmed, special care should be taken to preserve the sewing to limit the risk of recurrence. The green marking should not be cut as it could detach from the base textile. Removal of the green marking could compromise its function.
