Hiatal Hernia Repair

The rise of GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in industrialized countries has led to a rise in instances of Hiatal and Paraesophageal hernias. Covidien has kept pace with this development by collaborating with surgeons to create a line of safe, effective products that address the distinct concerns of hiatal hernia surgery.

While ordinary meshes carry the risk of ingrowth into the esophagus, Covidien’s composite hiatal mesh is coated on one side with a protective collagen-based film that minimizes attachments and guards against erosion. Crafted in smaller sizes uniquely designed for easy placement of the mesh, these products and other Covidien collagen-based implant options invite healthy tissue integration, optimizing safety in the surgical treatment of GERD and hiatal hernias.
