Ventralex Hernia Patch - Abdominal hernia surgical mesh, synthetic polymer

Intended purpose

The Ventralex™ Hernia Patch is indicated for use in the reinforcement of soft tissue deficiencies in the repair of ventral and umbilical hernias.

Functional description

The Ventralex™ Hernia Patch is a self-expanding, nonabsorbable sterile mesh. The top layer of the polypropylene mesh is designed to form a strap and pocket. The strap facilitates placement, positioning and fixation of the mesh. The pocket is designed to aid in the fixation of the patch to the abdominal wall. Polypropylene monofilaments are knitted into a mesh, which allows a prompt fibroblastic response through the interstices of the mesh.
