SURGIMESH® WN is an advanced technology surgical mesh now indicated for use in hernia repair - a common procedure performed in over 1 million patients in the USA every year. Its novel platform technology is based upon randomized, non-woven polypropylene micro-fibers. Aspide Medical’s development of this unique platform technology has resulted in a mesh that in clinical use has demonstrated minimal chronic pain, and lower post-operative complication rates, resulting in well healed and comfortable yet high strength repairs.
The use of Aspide Medical’s SURGIMESH® WN, an advanced lightweight surgical mesh, provides today's clinicians with a broad spectrum of configurations for open and laparoscopic hernia repairs. It is the first non-woven, microfiber polypropylene mesh available for clinical use in the US hernia market. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that SURGIMESH® WN significantly improves upon current mesh offerings by reducing aggressive inflammation, foreign body and dense scarring reactions to produce well integrated and strong repairs without the excessive wrinkling and shrinkage at the hernia mesh repair site.
