Abdominal hernia prosthesis Safil® Mesh

Safil® Mesh Absorbable mesh for temporary wound and organ support Safil® Mesh is a warp-knitted mesh made of polyglycolic acid. During the wound healing phase the porous structure increases the mechanical load capacity of the supported tissue. Safil® Mesh offers a strong support with a high tensile strength.[4] Due to the absorption of the material after 60 to 90 days the risk of late secondary infections is low. [3] Advantages - Very elastic and pliable mesh [2] - Total absorption after 60 – 90 days [1] - Porous mesh structure enhances tissue ingrowth and allows body fluids to pass through [3] - Homogeneous elongation in horizontal and vertical direction [2] - Strong support with a high tensile strength [4] - Reduced foreign body material helps to minimize tissue reaction [3,5] - Low risk of late secondary infections due to the degradation of the material [3] [1] de Araújo UR, Czeczko NG, Ribas-Filho JM, Malafaia O, Budel VM, Balderrama CM, Zimmermann E, et al.
