Package Image: phs.gif PROLENE polypropylene Hernia System
The PROLENE Hernia System's 3 in 1 unique and innovative design combines the three most popular tension free techniques utilized today in the repair of inguinal hernias. The Onlay Patch, like the Lichtenstein flat mesh repair, covers the entire floor of the canal; the system overlaps the pubic tubercle for added support, and provides the security of conventional patch techniques. The Connector, like Rutkow's technique, provides the simplicity of a plug repair. Additionally, it secures the underlay patch to minimize incidence of migration. Its profile is a significant improvement over the bulk of conventional plugs. The Underlay Patch, like a laparoscopic repair, provides posterior support; however you get that support from a simple anterior approach. This underlay patch lays in the preperitoneal space and opens to cover the entire Myopectineal orifice. This key and exclusive feature of the PROLENE Hernia System ensures that both the Femoral and Inguinal regions are protected to minimize the possibility of recurrence.
