Quotes

"A commercial embodiment of the knitted mesh device called ProGrip.TM. is available from Covidien (Massachusetts). Its use is described in Philippe Chastan, M D , 'Tension-Free Open Inguinal Hernia Repair Using an Innovative Self Gripping Semi-Resorbable Mesh,' published in the Journal of Minimal Access Surgery, 2006 (see pp 139-43 describing results based on a published study of the Parietene.TM. (polypropylene) version of the ProGrip.TM.). In its literature, Covidien states that the biocompatible monofilament knit making up the knitted mesh is made from non-resorbable polyethylene teraphthalate (PET), and the spike naps are made from a resorbable poly lactic acid (PLA). The monofilament knit is hydrophilic, so it works with the body's natural systems to improve tissue integration while reducing foreign material response. The entire mesh with the spike naps reportedly provides 'immediate fixation' to the underlying tissue. The knit material is substantially stronger than using fibrin glue, and is equivalent to incorporation by hernia stapler fixation at five days after placement. Compared to suture fixation, the device is 100% stronger at four weeks. The literature also notes that the device can be positioned and placed in less than 60 seconds, and unlike standard open repair of parietal deficiencies, the device does not require additional fixation methods. The device has a reported density of 73.0 g/m.sup.2 before resorption of the spiked naps, and a reported density of 38.0 g/m.sup.2 after resorption (a change of 53 g/m.sup.2 or 48-percent)."
