Ordering information
† Based on benchtop studies. Benchtop data are not necessarily indicative of human clinical outcomes. If a pre-cut mesh is trimmed, special care should be taken to preserve the sewing to limit the risk of recurrence. If a pre-cut mesh is trimmed, the green marking should not be cut as it could detach from the base textile. If the mesh is trimmed, the green marking may no longer be present, compromising its function.
