FDA Approval for Surgimesh WN

In 2006 the FDA approved SURGIMESH WN for use in the treatment of hernias. The FDA’s decision turned SURGIMESH WN into the first non-woven, polypropylene mesh approved for surgical hernia treatment in the U.S. The product is now available for the more than 1 million patients who receive surgical hernia treatments in the United States each year.

SURGIMESH WN stands out from other implant meshes because it is made of an innovative, non-woven, microfiber biomaterial. The randomized, nonwoven polypropylene microfibers used to create SURGIMESH WN showed significant advantages over other products in clinical trials. This unique biomaterial that minimizes chronic patient pain, allows more comfortable recoverys, and creates fewer post-operative complications. Patients who receive SURGIMESH WN, therefore, can heal more quickly than other patients and experience less discomfort related to the hernia repair.

About Surgimesh WN

SURGIMESH WN is made by Aspide Medical, a French healthcare manufacturing company that has been in business for over 15 years. SURGIMESH WN’s non-woven, microfiber polypropylene biomaterial sets it apart from other mesh implants that are used to repair hernias. This biomaterial has an optimal pore structure that allows it to integrate into surrounding body tissues quickly without causing as much post-op irritation as other mesh implants. The non-woven biomaterial also helps SURGIMESH WN from shrinking or wrinkling, a problem that causes discomfort for many patients who receive implants made of other materials. The soft, flexible material also helps surgeons implant SURGIMESH WN along difficult contours in the body.
