TiSURE®

TiSURE®
US customers: For product details please refer to our US-Website.

Our complete portfolio of titanised hernia meshes covers all indications. TiSURE® provides excellent patient outcomes thanks to their hydrophilic and therefore very biocompatible properties. The multi-layered mesh TiSURE® serves to reinforce the diaphragm in the event of existing defects at the opening through which the oesophagus passes. The pore size is 1 mm.
Made in Germany

Benefits

Body compatibility
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

Excellent mesh adaptation
The opening can be made larger or smaller, allowing excellent adaptation of the mesh to the diameter of the oesophagus.

Unique design with 360° coverage
Since the mesh is multi-layered, 360° coverage is achieved with adequate mesh overlap, even when the mesh opening is enlarged.

Less mesh shrinkage
The inflammatory response is minimised through titanisation. Consequently there is less scar formation, and therefore less mesh shrinkage.2,3,4 This is particularly important given the area of application of TiSURE®.

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
