TiLENE® Inguinal

TiLENE® Inguinal
Image similar
Our complete portfolio of titanised hernia meshes covers all indications. TiLENE® provides excellent patient outcomes thanks to its hydrophilic and therfore very biocompatible properties. TiLENE® Inguinal can be used with the Lichtenstein technique for inguinal hernia repair. TiLENE® Inguinal-R (right-sided hernia) and TiLENE® Inguinal-L (left-sided hernia) constitute multi-layer mesh implants for the laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernias. The pore size is 1 mm.
Made in Germany

Product Details

Technical Data

  • Material: Titanised type 1a polypropylene mesh
  • Pore size: 1 mm

Knowledge

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 hernia repair. TiMESH 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
