Functional description
Progrip is made of knitted monofilament polypropylene with polylactic acid monofilament resorbable hooks on one of the sides. Hooks facilitate placing, positioning and temporary fixation of the overlapping flap and the mesh to the surrounding tissue. A coloured yarn marker is placed on the medial edge of the pre-cut mesh to help with orientation. There are 3 different meshes covered 2 round (anatomically left and right due to flaps see label) and 1 rectangular.
