Parietex™ anatomical mesh provides a custom designed mesh for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It combines Parietex™ 2D weave with Parietex™ 3D weave.
The 2D weave is lightweight and macroporous with a design that is rigid, making it ideal for laparoscopic applications due to its handling properties.
The 3D weave is also a lightweight, macroporous mesh but has a design that provides compliance and softness. This softness allows for gentle placement over sensitive nerve and vessel structures in the inguinal area.
All of Covidien's Parietex™ products are created from a macroporous polyester material whose properties invite healthy tissue integration and mesh compliance while reducing encapsulation.1
