Features:

• Transparent open pore structure facilitating fast incorporation and visualization of underlying tissue structures¹
• Up to 80% reduction in thickness and a low coeffi­cient of friction over predicate devices improving ease of use and trocar deployment⁴
• Macroporous open pore structure promoting rapid healing and dense collagen formation¹
• Thin wall structure with less material for reducing scar tissue build up and minimizing patient discomfort⁵
• Uniformly strong and durable cPP material maintains consistent levels of strength while avoiding the problems associated with composite meshes¹^,³^,4
• Surface area and void area reduction for improving healing and bio­compatibility²
