ULTRAPRO® Macroporous Partially Absorbable Mesh
ULTRAPRO® Macroporous Partially Absorbable Mesh offers strength with reduced foreign body mass1,5 and may reduce the risk of patient complications compared with mircroporous mesh.2,6 In a study of patients from the International Mesh Hernia Registry (IHMR), patients demonstrated low rates of intra- and postoperative complications, such as seromas, and recurrence (<1%) after 1 year.2-4,7-12 In the same study, patients reported improvement in pain and movement limitations from baseline at 1 year postsurgery.2,3,7,8 ULTRAPRO Mesh withstands more than 2x the maximum abdominal pressure in healthy adults.13,14
