The polypropylene mesh material currently accounts for almost 80% of sales world-wide. Polypropylene mesh is the most recommended material for hernia repair. Polyester material is not recommended at all in incision hernia repair. See reference article from archives of surgery 1998; 133:378-382 title: Long-term complications associated with prosthetic repair of incision hernias. A hernia is a protrusion of an organ (or part of an organ) through its containing wall. Before a hernia can form, there must be a weakness at the containing wall (commonly of abdominal muscles). The weakness may be congenital or it may be acquired. At the site of a hernia, a bulge is noticeable, that can contain fat, intestine or other tissue. This bulge can be either reducible, meaning that the fat or tissue can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity and the hernia will flatten and disappear, or non-reducible, which means the fat or tissue cannot be pushed back into the abdomen and the hernia will not flatten.
