DemeTECH Corporation products

The DemeLENE MESH™ is a nonabsorbable mesh used to reinforce or bridge inguinal hernia deficiencies to provide extended support during and following wound healing. Animal studies show that implantation of DemeTECH® MESH elicits a minimum to slight inflammatory reaction, which is transient, and is followed by the deposition of a thin fibrous layer of tissue which can grow through the interstices of the mesh, thus incorporating the mesh into adjacent tissue. The mesh remains soft and pliable, and normal wound healing is not noticeably impaired. The material is neither absorbed nor is it subject to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes.

Suture Material is sterile bone wax, a sterile mixture of White Bees wax, Hard Paraffin and Isopropyl Palmitate, a wax softening agent. DEMEWAX is opaque and has a waxy odor. May be used for the control of bleeding from bone surfaces. DEMEWAX achieves local haemostasis of bone by acting as a mechanical (tamponade) barrier. It does not act bio chemically and is minimally resorbable. DEMEWAX should not be used where rapid osseous regeneration and fusion are desired.
