SURGIPRO™ Mesh is intended to assist in the repair and/or reinforcement of hernia and other fascial defects requiring the additional support of a nonabsorbable mesh during and after wound healing. SURGIPRO™ Mesh is a nonabsorbable, inert, sterile, porous surgical mesh knitted from monofilament fibers of polypropylene polymer from which SURGIPRO™ surgical sutures are manufactured. The mesh measures approximately 0.022” (0.57 mm) in thickness and exhibits high burst strength and tensile strength. In the form of a surgical suture, synthetic polypropylene is reported to resist tensile strength loss indefinitely in tissue. SURGIPRO™ Mesh is knitted in such fashion as to interconnect each monofilament fiber and provide bi-directional elasticity, while allowing the mesh to be cut to any shape without unraveling.
