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
