Herniamesh S.r.l. products

A partially absorbable prosthesis for treating inguinal hernias. Hybridmesh® is a quadriaxial co-knitted mesh with 25% of non-absorbable polypropylene (PP) monofilament and 75% of absorbable polylactic acid (PLLA) monofilament. The prosthesis weighs 80 g/m². The polylactic acid filaments give the mesh the right level of rigidity for quick and easy positioning. After the polylactic acid filaments have been fully absorbed (in approximately 7-10 months), the residual polypropylene mass weighs just 20 g/m², leaving a soft, light and comfortable mesh implant.

The rigid and semi-rigid pre-shaped Hertra® 1, 2, 2A meshes are used to repair inguinal hernias in open surgery. They are easily and rapidly positioned as a result of their rigidity and shape-memory features. For this reason, Hertra® 1, 2 and 2A meshes can also be inserted without sutures or other fixing methods. They are the original meshes designed for tension-free inguinal repair according to Trabucco’s “tension-free, sutureless” method.

The lightweight pre-shaped Hertra® 6 and 6A meshes are used to repair inguinal hernias in open surgery. They have high porosity and low weight. The Hertra®6 mesh is indicated for male inguinal hernia repairs. The Hertra®6A mesh is used for repairing female inguinal hernias.

Hertra® 9 and Hertra® 9A pre-shaped meshes are used to repair inguinal hernias in open surgery and are knitted with quadriaxial technology, a process created and developed by Herniamesh to make lightweight yet strong prostheses. The Hertra® 9 prosthesis is used to treat the male inguinal hernia. The Hertra® 9A mesh is used to repair female inguinal hernias.

These meshes are used for the treatment of ventral hernias with both laparoscopic and open surgery. The double-layered structure means that the device is especially indicated for intraperitoneal use. The microporous side in ePTFE, which comes into contact with the intestine, minimises adherence; the macroporous side made of monofilament polypropylene, in contact with the wall, promotes tissue development.

Rigid or soft, flat round meshes (10 cm diameter), indicated in the repair of ventral hernias with the open technique.

Flat oval meshes are made of non-absorbable, polypropylene monofilament Oval Patch. Rigid, flat oval meshes, indicated for the repair of ventral hernias with the open technique. These meshes can be implanted using Trabucco’s “tension-free, sutureless” technique.

T-Sling®PP is indicated for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by retropubic transvaginal or transobturator approaches. The T-Sling®PP, in 100% non-absorbable, polypropylene monofilament, has protective sheaths to facilitate passage through the tissues and pre-assembled ring sutures for immediate insertion into the eye of the Herniamesh introducer needle.

For use in surgery, for Herniamesh prosthesis placement, via out-in or in-out transobturator approach, i.e. from the obturator foramen to the vaginal incision and vice versa. Produced in stainless steel, the eye is designed to allow passage of the sutures pre-assembled on the tape and they have an ergonomic aluminium grip. Available also with close eye. Sold as non-sterile, they may be sterilised in autoclave or with ethylene oxide.
