ULTRAPRO mesh is a partly absorbable lightweight monofilament mesh composed of approximately equal parts of:

• PROLENE - non-absorbable polypropylene.
• MONOCRYL - absorbable poliglecaprone.

A unique combination

• Non-absorbable polypropylene fibers, identical to material used to produce PROLENE meshes.
• Absorbable poliglecaprone fibers, identical to material used to produce MONOCRYL sutures.
• Knitted to form a large pore mesh construction.

Abdominal wall reinforcement

Now there is a partly absorbable lightweight monofilament mesh to address your needs in abdominal wall reinforcement.

Surgical techniques

• All tension-free inguinal hernia repair techniques, eg. Lichtenstein, TAPP or TEP.
• Incisional hernia repair where ULTRAPRO mesh is placed in the sublay position.

The choice is yours

ULTRAPRO mesh complements our range of tension-free prostheses:

VYPRO mesh, VYPRO II mesh and ULTRAPRO mesh

All the benefits of lightweight composite meshes in a choice of multifilament or monofilament construction. You can choose depending on the type of hernia, the technique or the handling characteristics of the mesh itself.

Handling and Performance Characteristics

Relies on Familiar Surgical Techniques
ULTRAPRO mesh does not require surgeons to learn new techniques. Its blue, highly visible stripes aid orientation and placement.

• Clear visualization of the anatomy 
• Excellent handling¹

 
Materials
Composite mesh of polypropylene (nonabsorbable) and poliglecaprone 25 (absorbable) monofilament materials identical to those used to produce PROLENE* polypropylene Suture and MONOCRYL* (poliglecaprone 25) Suture.

Although ULTRAPRO mesh requires no technique change, permanent mesh fixation should be at least 1 cm (3/8”) from the edge of the mesh (including at least 2 complete cross-sections) with 1 cm (3/8”) spacing between fixation points. The mesh must always be separated from the abdominal cavity by the peritoneum, and cannot come in contact with the bowel.
