The new version incorporates a more resistant barrier and a proprietary textile design with better visibility and increased strength than the original version. The new version is three times more resistant than the original and uses 3-D textile with x-stitch design that is stronger and enables better visibility through the mesh.
The original version was introduced in 1999 as the first hernia mesh to offer a resorbable collagen barrier and has been evaluated in over 45 clinical and pre-clinical studies.
