About this Device
ETHICON PHYSIOMESH™ Open is a composite mesh, with a nonabsorbable polypropylene mesh component, used to reinforce or bridge defects to provide extended support during and following wound healing. The device has a laminated layer of poliglecaprone 25 on the repair mesh that is intended to physically separate the mesh from the underlying tissue and organ surfaces, thereby reducing unintended tissue attachment to the mesh. The fixation skirt facilitates manual placement and positioning against the intra-abdominal wall, while allowing for the use of mechanical fixation devices such as ETHICON SECURESTRAP™ Open Absorbable Strap Fixation Device.
