A partly absorbable lightweightmonofilament mesh composed ofapproximately equal parts of:•PROLENE*– non-absorbable polypropylene•MONOCRYL*– absorbable poliglecaprone

• Mass of ULTRAPRO* (permanent polypropylene) is just 28g/m2

compared to 80-85g/m2 for PROLENE* mesh

• More than 60% less remaining foreign body meterial permanentlyimplanted

1. Polypropylene part remaining after absorption.

Features a thin, bioresorbable fabric layer that effectively separatesits strong, supportive mesh from underlying tissue and organs.A composite of proven products from ETHICON, PROCEED* SurgicalMesh addresses the issues of tissue attachment, infection, andsub-optimal handling that remain potential problems with currentlyavailable tissue separating meshes.

Properties• PROLENE* Soft Mesh

- Designed for strength, durability, and adaptibility

• Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) fabric- Minimizes tissue attachment

• Absorbable polydioxanone (PDS)- Bonds the ORC to the mesh

VYPRO* II mesh

VYPRO* II mesh is a partly absorbable lightweight multifilamentmesh, composed of approximately equal parts of:

• PROLENE* – non-absorbable polypropylene.

• VICRYL* – absorbable polyglactin.

• For all tension-free inguinal hernia repair techniques.

• Easy to cut, manipulate and place.

• Multidirectional flexibility and permanent stability in one.

• More than 60% less foreign body material compared toPROLENE* mesh.

• Long-lasting mutual integration achieved with improvedconnective scar tissue formation compared to smallpore meshes.

• VYPRO mesh is placed preperitoneally as a sublay.

• Direct contact between the mesh and intraperitoneal structuresmust be avoided by using intact peritoneum.

VYPRO* mesh is available in several sizes. The size of the implantshould allow for a 5cm overlap of the fascial defect on all sides.
