System, Hernial, Ultrapro, Large, 4" - Medlin

The ULTRAPRO™ Hernia System (UHS) is a sterile, pre-shaped, three-dimensional device constructed of an undyed orlay patch (1) connected by a mesh cylinder (connector) (2) to an underlay patch (3), which is reinforced by a flat undyed absorbable film of Poliglecaprone-25 (MONOCRYL™). The underlay patch is marked with dyed polypropylene fibers to be clearly distinguishable from the onlay patch. The onlay patch, connector and underlay patch are manufactured from approximately equal parts of absorbable Poliglecaprone-25 monofilament fiber and non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament fiber. The polymer of the undyed and dyed polypropylene fibers (phthalocyanine blue, Color Index No.: 74160) is identical to the material used for dyed /undyed PROLENE™ suture material. Poliglecaprone-25 fiber consists of a copolymer containing glycolide and ?-caprolactone.This copolymer is also used for MONOCRYL™ suture material. After absorption of the Poliglecaprone-25 components only the polypropylene mesh remains. The structure and size of this remaining mesh are designed for the physiological stresses to which the abdominal wall is subject. The UHS is available in different sizes.
