In 2008 the FDA approved SURGIMESH XB for surgical treatments of hernias with exposure to the viscera. Since SURGIMESH XB provides a significant number of advantages over other barrier meshes available on the market, this FDA decision means that the 450,000 patients who receive the procedure each year in the U.S. now have the opportunity to choose an option that integrates with tissues more quickly and can offers greater post-operative comfort.
SURGIMESH XB offers advantages that other barrier mesh implants cannot provide because it is made from a unique non-woven, microfiber polypropylene material that has been partially impregnated with silicone. One side of the mesh adheres easily to tissues following the operation, providing reliable integration, while the other side creates an absolute barrier to visceral adhesion.
The innovative biomaterial’s flexibility also allows doctors to implant it easily, even along difficult contours. SURGIMESH XB is also soft, resists wrinkling, and resists shrinkage. This allows patients to recover from surgery quickly and experience minimal post-operative discomfort.
