TiLENE® Strip
Our complete portfolio of titanised hernia meshes covers all indications. TiLENE® Strip provides excellent patient outcomes thanks to its hydrophilic and therfore very biocompatible properties. TiLENE® Strip serves to prevent incisional hernias, e.g. during fascial closure following laparotomy. It can be applied using either the onlay or the sublay technique. The pore size is 1 mm.
Benefits

Titanium’s body compatibility properties transferred to a hernia mesh
Quality of life
Improved quality of life for patients1
Handling
Easier handling and excellent visibility
Standardisation
With TiMESH/TiLENE® there is one mesh for every hernia indication (incl. IPOM)
No effect on diagnostics
Imaging diagnostics are not affected

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
