TIGR™ Matrix Surgical Mesh is indicated for use in reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists.

TIGR Matrix Surgical Mesh is knitted from two different synthetic resorbable fibers, possessing different degradation characteristics. The first fiber, making up 40% of the matrix by weight, is a copolymer of polyglycolide, polylactide, and polytrimethylene carbonate. The second fiber, making up 60% of the matrix by weight, is a copolymer of polylactide, and polytrimethylene carbonate. Both fibers degrade by bulk hydrolysis once implanted, resulting in a decreasing strength retention followed by mass loss of the fibers.
