Duramesh™
Duramesh™ combines the desirable principles of a mesh repair with the placement precision of a suture. It is the world's first device that both approximates tissue and allows ingrowth for a strong, early repair.
Suture + Mesh = Suturable Mesh
Duramesh™ applies the simple concepts of force distribution and tissue incorporation to address the problem of suture pull-through.
Description
Innovative Design to Distribute Forces
Sutures Can Cut Intact Tissue
Sutures can cut through otherwise intact tissue due to the presence of a sharp leading edge - described as "suture pull-through" or "cheese-wiring" - leading to repair failure.
Meshes distribute forces and allow for tissue ingrowth.
Duramesh™ has more surface area to distribute forces. Duramesh™ flattens to better distribute forces at the suture-tissue interface.
