Hybridmesh - Semi-Absorbable Mesh

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.
