MERINEUM™ MESH
Polypropylene/ Polylactide-Caprolactone Mesh
Tissue Separating Dual Layer Mesh for Ventral Hernia Repair
4 Unique Features
Multiple Benefits
-
Blue Lines
- Improved visibility
- Ease of mesh distinguish during laparoscopy
- Ease of mesh orientation
-
Well Proportioned Drainage Hole
- Ensure seroma drainage in time
- Facilitates fibroblast growth
- Ease of taking transfascial suture
-
Synthetic Absorbable Anti-adhesive Barrier
- Strong barrier – More resistant to damage during deployment through trocar
- Protection against adhesion formation during critical period
- PLCL barrier resorbs between 90-120 days
-
Transparent Barrier
- Ease of defect overlap
- Facilitates visualization of underlying tissue and vessel.
Designed for Superior Surgical Outcomes
Improved Macro-porosity

Broad Range of
Mesh Fixation Devices
PLCL Degradation Study – Swine
Abdominal Cavity Implantation Study
Objective of Study
- To estimate the complete absorption period for PLCL
Observations
- The surface and structure of PLCL film is complete and without obvious degradation pore in a week after implantation of composite mesh.
- When implanted after a month, the PLCL film has been covered completely by the pseudo peritoneum, the film is still integrated but it became brittle and can be removed after stripping the tissue.
Conclusion
- Merineum Mesh residual content is more than 98% when 12 weeks Post-Op
