DURAMESH™


DURAMESH™ is a non-resorbable implant for the purpose of approximating and/or the ligation of soft tissues such as muscle, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. DURAMESH™ distributes forces at the suture-tissue interface, while minimising the amount of implanted foreign material and surgical complexity required for implantation. Suturable Mesh therefore combines the desirable principles of a mesh repair with the placement precision of a suture - DURAMESH™: the Suturable Mesh for stronger, earlier repairs.1,2


Benefits

Enhanced biomechanical properties  DURAMESH™ has more surface area than standard suture, higher yield strength, and ultimate strength in flexor tendon repairs.4

Better repair strength  The multifilament, macroporous mesh body of DURAMESH™ forms a mesh tube. This structure allows fibrovascular ingrowth during wound healing and therefore increases the strength of the repair.2,3

Less gap formation  DURAMESH™’s novel mesh architecture shows less gap formation and more intact repairs compared to standard suture.3

Double the repair strength at two weeks  DURAMESH™ repairs were twice as strong as standard suture repairs at two weeks.3

Knowledge

Handling

Easy to handle, use and tie

The handling and use of DURAMESH™ are equivalent to those of a standard suture, requiring minimal to no training. Its novel design allows it to collapse when tied, resulting in a low-profile knot. DURAMESH™’s attached needle provides surgeons with an intuitive solution for targeted mesh placement. All DURAMESH™ sizes are used in the same instances as an equivalently sized standard suture.

Application Range

DURAMESH™ Suturable Mesh is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, excluding use in skin and other epithelial tissues.

DURAMESH™ can, for instance, be used for:

  • Laparotomy closures
  • Open umbilical hernia repairs
  • Hiatal hernias
  • Inguinal hernias
  • Flank hernias
  • Trocar site closures
  • Flap harvest closures
  • Tendon repairs
  • Joint capsule closures
