TiLOOP® Tape
Benefits
Reduced Risk of Inflammation
Compared to simple polypropylene, the hydrophilic, titanised surface represents a lower risk of inflammation — and therefore less scar formation.1
Individual
Based on the patient, you can choose from two degrees of elasticity: TiLOOP® Tape has a higher elasticity and TiLOOP® Tape has a lower elasticity.
By urogynaecologists, for urogynaecologists
All TiLOOP® mesh implants were developed together with urogynaecologists and are 100% Made in Germany.

Highest demands on the material
In addition to the skills of the surgeon, the quality of the mesh material determines the quality of a lasting and anatomically stable descensus repair. TiLOOP® mesh implants are made of Type 1a polypropylene mesh (macroporous & monofilament)1 with a titanised, hydrophilic surface. Compared to simple polypropylene, this offers a number of advantages, which are already known in the use of titanised mesh implants for hernia surgery, such as:
- better cell growth2
- lower risk of inflammation3
- less scarring3
- less shrinkage of the mesh4
