Modifying hernia mesh design to improve device mechanical performance and promote tension-free repair

Testing demonstrates that the modified mesh outperforms SOC mesh and suture in all tested failure modes. SOC hernia mesh tears through tissue at stress levels below maximum physiologic stress, whereas, the modified hernia mesh is up to 200% stronger than SOC mesh at resisting suture tearing through tissue and maintains anchoring at stresses far beyond clinically relevant benchmarks. Modifying hernia mesh design significantly improves device mechanical performance and enhances tension-free repair.
