Designed to address key issues in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, ProGrip™ laparoscopic self-fixating mesh delivers tack-free fixation over the entire anatomy, including below the inguinal ligament where traditional tacks cannot be placed.

• Increases the security of the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
• Eliminates the pain associated with traditional tack fixation
• Is easy to use and faster than tacks
• Lowers the cost of the laparoscopic inguinal procedure by combining the functionality of mesh and fixation into one device

Self-fixating

• More than 5,000 microgrips eliminate the need for traditional tack fixation or glue
• Superior fixation strength compared to Bard 3DMax™ light textile with SorbaFix™ tacks or fibrin sealant
• Equivalent recurrence rate compared to laparoscopic repair with fixation
• Tack-free fixation over the entire anatomy, including below the inguinal ligament where tacks cannot be placed

Less pain

• Eliminates the pain associated with traditional tack fixation
• Low post-operative pain and fast recovery in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
• 40% of the mesh weight resorbs reducing foreign material presence in patient over time
• Resorbable, atraumatic microgrips preserve cord and nerve structures

Easy to use

• Doesn’t stick to itself making it easy to handle and unfold laparoscopically
• Faster than tacks or glue
• Easy to orient with green medial marking

Lower cost

• Combines the functionality of mesh and fixation into one device
• Reduces the cost associated with traditional tack fixation and/or glues
• Less post-operative pain may result in lower cost of pain management therapy
