OS Series - Open Ventral Procedure

OPEN-SKIRTED FLAP FOR INCREASED RIGIDITY AND ACCESSIBLE FIXATION

Parietex™ Composite OS Series skirted mesh provides a new level of control during open ventral repair. based on clinically proven Parietex™ Composite mesh, the OS Series design has increased rigidity for easier handling during implantation. The skirted flap on the parietal side of the mesh provides more easily accessible fixation points in the open approach.

• Parietex™ Composite dual-sided mesh provides optimal tissue in-growth and fewer visceral attachments
• The skirt on parietal side provides accessible, secure fixation points
• Increased rigidity during implantation allows superior handling
• The polyester material softens and conforms to the anatomy once implanted
• Protects viscera from fixation points
• Available in three sizes to meet a wide range of clinical needs

2H Series - Hiatal Procedure

RELIABLE TREATMENT FOR PARAESOPHAGEAL AND HIATAL HERNIA

The Parietex™ Composite 2H Series makes surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia viable. While ordinary meshes carry the risk of in-growth into the esophagus, Parietex™ Composite is coated on one side with a protective collagen-based barrier to help prevent tissue attachment. The 2H Series is created in the shape of the hiatus to buttress the primary repair by reinforcing the approximation of the crus on either side of the esophagus.

• Non-resorbable polyester mesh allows fast and complete tissue in-growth on one side for efficient reinforcement^{1, 2, 3}
• Resorbable hydrophilic film provides a temporary barrier, minimizing tissue attachment to mesh^{1, 2, 3}
• Polyester mesh is easy to place and manipulate around the esophagus
• Available in two designs
