Parietex™ Flat sheet mesh comes in both 2D weaves (TEC) and 3D weaves (TET) designs.
The 2D weave is a lightweight, macroporous mesh 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 softness. This 3D weave allows for compliance and isometric movement with the patient. Its macroporous nature provides optimal cell ingrowth.
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
