ULTRAPRO* mesh
A partly absorbable lightweight
monofilament mesh composed of
approximately equal parts of:
• PROLENE*– non-absorbable polypropylene
•MONOCRYL*– absorbable poliglecaprone
• Mass of ULTRAPRO* (permanent polypropylene) is just 28g/m2 compared to 80-85g/m2 for PROLENE* mesh
• More than 60% less remaining foreign body meterial permanently
implanted

Excellent handling characteristics
• MONOCRYL* poliglecaprone fibres used to stiffen the mesh
structure for easier handling during the operation
• ULTRAPRO* mesh can be easily cut to shape

PROCEED* Surgical Mesh
Multi-layer tissue separating mesh for
open & laparoscopic incisional hernia repair
Features a thin, bioresorbable fabric layer that effectively separates
its strong, supportive mesh from underlying tissue and organs.
A composite of proven products from ETHICON, PROCEED* Surgical
Mesh addresses the issues of tissue attachment, infection, and
sub-optimal handling that remain potential problems with currently
available tissue separating meshes.
Properties
• PROLENE* Soft Mesh
- Designed for strength, durability, and adaptibility
• Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) fabric
- Minimizes tissue attachment
• Absorbable polydioxanone (PDS)
- Bonds the ORC to the mesh

VYPRO* II mesh
Lightweight multifilament mesh for open
& laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
VYPRO* II mesh is a partly absorbable lightweight multifilament
mesh, composed of approximately equal parts of:
• PROLENE* – non-absorbable polypropylene.
• VICRYL* – absorbable polyglactin.
• For all tension-free inguinal hernia repair techniques.
• Easy to cut, manipulate and place.
• Multidirectional flexibility and permanent stability in one.
• More than 60% less foreign body material compared to
PROLENE* mesh.
• Long-lasting mutual integration achieved with improved
connective scar tissue formation compared to small
pore meshes.

• VYPRO mesh is placed preperitoneally as a sublay.
• Direct contact between the mesh and intraperitoneal structures
must be avoided by using intact peritoneum.
