Intended Use
The ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ Partially Absorbable Hernia Repair Device is indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue, where weakness exists, in procedures involving soft tissue repair, such as groin hernia defects.
Device Story
Sterile, single-use, partially absorbable hernia repair device for open extra-peritoneal groin hernia repair. Comprises 3D plug to fill defect and flat pre-shaped onlay patch to reinforce surrounding area. Plug constructed from undyed ULTRAPRO mesh with laminated dyed (D&C Violet No. 2) polydioxanone polymer film ribs for visibility/fixation. Mesh composed of approximately equal parts absorbable poliglecaprone 25 monofilament and non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to provide permanent support during and after wound healing. Device provides mechanical reinforcement of soft tissue defects; visibility ribs facilitate insertion and fixation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing (dimensional measurement, shelf life) and animal model performance testing (mesh compression, tissue integration, tissue reaction, infection potentiation). Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1:2009 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, subchronic toxicity, genotoxicity, local tissue response).
Technological Characteristics
Partially absorbable surgical mesh. Materials: poliglecaprone 25 monofilament, polypropylene monofilament, polydioxanone polymer film (dyed D&C Violet No. 2). 3D plug and flat onlay patch configuration. Sterilized, single-use. Complies with ISO 10993-1:2009 for biocompatibility.
Indications for Use
Indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists, specifically for groin hernia repair procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.

#### Description of the Device Subject to Premarket Notification:
ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ is a sterile, single-use partially absorbable hernia repair device designed for open extra-peritoneal abdominal wall repair, particularly groin hernia repair, to provide permanent support during and following wound healing. ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ consists of a three-dimensional plug, which fills the defect and a flat pre-shaped onlay patch, which lays on the defect to reinforce the weak area around the defect. The Plug is composed of an undyed ULTRAPRO™ Mesh. Dyed ribs, made from dyed (D&C Violet No. 2) polydioxanone polymer film, are laminated to the Plug mesh. The onlay patch is a pre-shaped, dyed ULTRAPRO™ Mesh. The ULTRAPRO™ Mesh is manufactured from approximately equal parts of absorbable poliglecaprone 25 monofilament fibers and non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament fibers. The device is available in different sizes.
### Indications for Use:
The ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ Partially Absorbable Hernia Repair Device is indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue, where weakness exists, in procedures involving soft tissue repair, such as groin hernia defects.
### Summary of Technological Characteristics of New Device to Predicate Devices:
#### Similarity:
The principle of operation and fundamental scientific technology of the proposed device are equivalent to the predicate devices. ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ and the predicate devices function in the same manner - they are designed as plug plus onlay patch devices for open extraperitoneal abdominal wall repair, particularly groin hernia repair. The polymer materials in the proposed device is identical to that of Ultrapro Plug, which is composed with approximately equal parts of absorbable poliglecaprone 25 monofilament fibers and non-absorbable, polypropylene monofilament fibers. The mash knitting structure of both plug and onlay patch of ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ is the same as the onlay patch material of ULTRAPRO Plug the proposed device has similar 3-D physical shapes as that of Bard Mesh Perfix Plug. Difference:
The plug material for proposed device is composed of undyed ULTRAPRO™ Mesh. Dyed ribs, made from dyed (D&C Violet No. 2) polydioxanone polymer film, are laminated to the Plug mesh to provide better visibility to the plug for ease of insertion into the defect and fixation.
### Performance Data:
ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™, Partially Absorbable Hernia Repair Device underwent an extensive safety and performance testing program, including bench and animal testing, to support that the device meets the requirements as defined in user specifications, performs as intended, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The tests conducted include:
{2}------------------------------------------------
- Biocompatibility testing in accordance to the tests recommended in the ISO 10993-. 1:2009 standard including cytotoxicity, sentitization, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, subchronic toxicity, genotoxicity, and local tissue response and absorption study
- Bench testing including device dimensional measurement and comparison, and shelf life . testing
- Performance testing in animal model including efficacy study evaluating mesh . compression, tissue integration, and tissue reaction and infection potentiation study.
The ULTRAPRO COMFORT PLUG™ Partially Absorbable Hernia Repair Device has the same intended use, fundamental scientific technology, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. Performance data demonstrates that the device is as safe and as effective as the predicate devices for the intended use. Thus we conclude that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
