Self-gripping mesh
Transorb™ self-gripping resorbable mesh
<p>Transorb™ self-gripping resorbable mesh is used for open extraperitoneal ventral hernia repairs.</p>
Features
Superior strength†,1,2
- Strong mesh: A significantly higher tensile strength than Phasix™* mesh‡,1
- Strong attachment: Attachment force to the tissue is 1.6 times stronger§,◊,2 with ProGrip™ technology
- Strong repair: Macroporosity allows for excellent tissue ingrowth, providing mechanical strength to the defect repair◊,2–5
Repairs. Reinforces. Resorbs.◊,2–6
- Tissue integration: Resorbable microgrips support excellent tissue integration◊,2,7
- Critical healing period: Provides the same support as a permanent synthetic mesh during the critical healing period, while gradually resorbing into the body over time◊,¶,2,6
- Pore size matters: Large pores are associated with a reduced risk of infection and shrinkage,2,3,8 as well as reduced seroma formation◊,2,9

Specifications
| Materials | Poly-L-lactide, poly-trimethylene carbonate copolymer (PLLA/TMC) with grips on one side10 |
| Resorption | Mesh degradation by hydrolysis is nearly complete in 18 to 24 months, with remaining fibers essentially resorbed in 36 to 60 months. The total resorption period depends on numerous factors, including unique patient physiology.◊,2,6 |
| Pore size | Large pore (1.4 mm × 1.4 mm)#,2 |
| ProGrip™ technology | Grips are present over the entire mesh surface to help maintain the device in place during abdominal wall closure11,12 and may limit the need for additional fixation◊,13 |
Frequently asked questions
Transorb™ self-gripping resorbable mesh is designed for ventral hernia repair when placed in an extraperitoneal space by open surgical approach.
At 18 to 24 months, mesh degradation is nearly complete. The remaining mesh fibers are essentially resorbed in 36 to 60 months post-implantation. The total resorption period depends on numerous factors, including unique patient physiology.◊,2,6
Preclinical studies showed that the mesh maintains mechanical characteristics to reinforce the abdominal wall in vivo for at least 20 weeks and progressively resorbs.◊,¶,2,6
Preclinical studies showed that the grips contribute to the fixation of the mesh to surrounding tissue in vivo for at least four weeks.◊,13
Three years.
