Inguinal risk statement (PP1208DL, PP1208DR, PP1509G): 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.
Ventral risk statement (PP1515G, PP2015G, PP3020G, PP3030G, PP4030G): Mesh complications may include but are not limited to acute and chronic pain, extrusion/erosion, hematoma, infection, inflammation, recurrence, and/or seroma. The compatibility of ProGrip™ self-gripping polypropylene mesh with trocars and laparoscopic instruments has not been established. 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.

§Applicable to PP1515G, PP2015G, PP3020G, PP3030G, PP4030G.
ΩBased on benchtop data, not necessarily indicative of human clinical outcomes.
††The technique used to fixate the mesh (suture and/or tacks) is left up to the surgeon.
‡‡The textile 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.
§§Compared to flat sheet meshes. Based on feedback from 6 answers, 5 surgeons (83%), conducted in lab setting with cadaver. Surgeons compensated.
