Intended for the reinforcement of tissues during surgical repair.

COVAMESH™ is a surgical mesh used during open procedures (laparotomy) or during laparoscopic procedures. COVAMESHIM is made from polyethylene terephtalate (polyester) and a cross-linked resorbable collagen film of porcine origin. The hydrophilic collagen film physically separates the coated side of the mesh from adjacent tissue, viscera, and organs. A marking with a non-resorbable ink is at the centre of the mesh to help positioning the device. The surgical mesh is obtained by standardized, controlled manufacturing processes. COVAMESHI™ is further sterilized in double-blisters by gamma-imadiation. COVAMESH™ is designed to be non inflammatory and biocompatible to allow reinforcement of soft tissues. When wetted, the surgical mesh is rollable to be easily introduced in a trocar. COVAMESH™ is suturable in place. It is provided in round sheets of 12 cm diameter and 16cm diameter and in rectangular sheets of 15x10 cm, 20x15 cm, 25x20 cm, 30x20 cm, 36x30 cm.
