Duatene™ Bilayer Mesh

Features

Two distinct layers to support your technique. And patient outcomes.

Onlay

• Flexibility for enhanced anatomical conformability^1,3
• Macroporous textile allows for good tissue integration^1,([FOOTNOTE=Weyhe D, Cobb W, Lecuivre J, et al. Large pore size and controlled mesh elongation are relevant predictors for mesh integration quality and low shrinkage — systematic analysis of key parameters of meshes in a novel minipig hernia model.

• Superior onlay porosity designed for ease of positioning^1-3

Underlay

• Designed for balance between softness and rigidity to allow for good conformability to the patient’s anatomy^{3 ,†}
• Flexible enough for good intraoperative handling and sufficiently rigid for easy deployment in the preperitoneal space^3,†
• Covers the myopectineal orifice([FOOTNOTE=Awad, S, Fagan S. Current approaches to inguinal hernia repair. Am J Surg. 2004;188(6):9–16.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])^,([FOOTNOTE=Badkur M, Garg N.

Connector

• Small size fits in all groin defect sizes — including small defects — to enable tight defect closure according to the surgeon’s practice^1,([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal report #43021CR012C, Memo UN-7 "Range of Sizes and Shapes". October 2016.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Fiber-filled design to enable tissue ingrowth and ease of positioning^3,6,†
