VitaMesh™
VITAMESH™ MACROPOROUS PP SURGICAL MESH
VitaMESH™ Macroporous PP Surgical Mesh is an implant suitable for different types of fascial defects. VitaMESH™ provides the favourable ingrowth and healed strength characteristics of a large pore monofilament polypropylene mesh with optimised handling and biocompatibility attributes in one high performance implant of condensed polypropylene (cPP).

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
