A proven design ¹ with the added advantage of ULTRAPRO Mesh

Three Points Of Protection

2. Connector - Secures the underlay patch,which virtually eliminates migration.

1. Onlay patch - Covers and protects the entire floor of the inguinal canal; the onlay provides protection at the pubic tubercle for added support.

3. Underlay patch - Provides posterior support; the underlay patch has concentric blue rings and absorbable MONOCRYL (Poliglecaprone 25) Film, to allow consistent, wrinkle-free deployment.

ULTRAPRO Mesh underlay - designed for consistent, effective deployment

Designed for consistent deployment and enhanced patient comfort

Reinforced underlay provides complete posterior support.
Designed to:

• Deploy effectively following adequate dissection of the preperitoneal space

• Conform well to the inguinal anatomy

  ULTRAPRO Hernia System utilises our ULTRAPRO Mesh technology which:

• Incorporates the three key elements of a lightweight mesh
  • thin filaments
  • large pore size
  • absorbable components

• Leaves less foreign body over time

• Provides physiological compatibility with the abdominal wall

The advantages of lightweight support

• Strong
  ULTRAPRO Mesh burst strength is four times stronger than the maximum abdominal pressure.²
• Flexible
  Excellent tissue in-growth and wound healing enables a flexible, compliant scar plate.³
• Comfortable
  Flexible scar is compliant with abdominal wall.³
• Absorbable
  50% less foreign material remains in patients compared to traditional PROLENE Hernia System.²
