Merigrow-mesh

The Merigrow mesh is a polypropylene macroporous light weight mesh, delivering the optimum combination of strength and elasticity.

Product Information

Pore size (2.3mm – 1.5mm)

– Large pores allow faster & better soft tissue ingrowth , lower foreign body reaction , resulting in formation of flexible scar.

– Large pores allow infiltration by macrophages, fibroblasts, blood vessels, collagen and monocytes, reducing chances of mesh infection.

– Large pores provide optimal flexibility with improved physical properties , allowing better activity profile post surgery.

Weight (55 gsm)

– Light weight causes less foreign body reaction , causing less fibrosis and chances of nerve entrapment. This results in better tissue incorporation, increased compliance of the prosthesis and decreased patient discomfort and pain.

– Light weight induces less formation of seroma.

Elasticity (25%) and memory

– Large pores with light weight increase elasticity and reduce memory , which allows ease of handling during procedure and better patient comfort post surgery during normal body movements.

– Merigrow shape is adaptable in nature and has multidirectional elasticity which matches to abdominal wall dynamics as closely as possible and returns back to its original shape.

Burst Strength (98 N/cm2)

Strength (98 N/cm2)

– Maximum intra abdominal pressure 24 kPa (2.4 N/cm2)

– Stronger tensile strength allows greater support to tissues during changing intra abdominal pressures.
