Product Information
Smooth with more strength:
Having a smooth surface is important in a synthetic material to reduce the irritation on adjacent tissues
1,2. In addition, stretch is a feature that physicians commented would be beneficial to move with the anatomy and reduce possible suture pullout. Polyform Mesh is both smooth and provides stretch.
Thin and light:
It is accepted among physician experts, the less mesh implanted, the better. Polyform Mesh is both lighter and thinner.
Softness and Strength:
Softness and conformity are important attributes when performing a graft-aided repair3. The ability to stay soft while not compromising strength was the goal. Polyform Mesh has been successful in providing both: softness and strength3.
