Hernia Treatment; Latest Techniques (Non Woven Medical Textiles)

Punctures frequently occur when herniated organs push against cavity walls. To repair these tissue punctures, nowadays, a non-woven polypropylene implant is used in hernia surgeries. There are a variety of non-woven polypropylene reinforcement meshes that help surgeons restore tissues damaged by herniated organs.

Non-woven polypropylene offers several advantages over other biomaterials commonly used to repair torn tissues. This low-profile material makes it simpler for surgeons to introduce and place netting into the appropriate places. It also becomes friends with surrounding tissue quickly, experiences minimal shrinkage, and resists wrinkling both during and after surgery. This helps the patient recover quickly with less post-surgery pain.

All Surgimesh products are made from non-woven polypropylene biomaterials, but each one has been designed to perform a specific function. Surgimesh implants come in a variety of key configurations that will help surgeons integrate the netting into even the most difficult-to-reach tissues. Surgeons can also choose the products based on the type of hernias that they treat. Surgimesh XB, for example, uses silicon implanted polypropylene that is suitable for minimally invasive ventral, umbilical, and incisional hernias. Surgimesh WN, however, is designed for inguinal and open ventral hernias. (Hey it's getting too technical. :D The point is, the products are custom-designed keeping in mind the different types of herniae.)

Since Surgimesh has several products designed for different types of hernia surgeries, surgeons should explore their options to choose customized mesh that will suit their patients' specific needs.
