Bard® MK® Patch with Posiflex® Memory Technology
|
 Anterior approach to a preperitoneal inguinal repair.
Benefits:
* Each of the three larger sizes covers all three spaces in the groin region: direct, indirect and femoral, and therefore, the onlay patch is not required
* The Posiflex* Memory Technology helps to avoid buckling and folding of the mesh and helps to ensure the patch lays flat in the preperitoneal space
* Biomechanics of intra-abdominal pressure helps secure the patch in place† †
* Minimally-invasive technique can be completed through a small 4-6 cm incision
* Minimal fixation may reduce post-operative pain and the risk of neuralgia†††
* A positioning strap and pocket facilitates placement, positioning and fixation of the device
