Titanized polypropylene mesh
A lightweight (~16 g/m²), macroporous monofilament polypropylene mesh with a covalently bonded titanium surface layer, supplied flat and trimmable to the defect size, for sutured tension-free repair.
How it is used
Open (Lichtenstein-type) inguinal hernia repair, placed over the posterior wall of the inguinal canal.
Clinical tip
A comparative study found shorter convalescence with the lightweight titanium-coated mesh than with a heavier standard polypropylene mesh.
