Partially absorbable extraperitoneal parietal reinforcement Implant.

The 4D Umbilical implant series is designed for extraperitoneal implantation to treat umbilical and small ventral hernias. It is biocompatible and partially absorbable. The mesh consists of 40% polypropylene and 60% Poly-L-Lactic Acid components. Fast and easy implantation thanks to the PLLA components in the mesh, the implant is regider and is therefore perfect for the PUMP technique.

After 24 months, a medium-weight polypropylene mesh of 60g/m² remains.

Technical details:

• Surface mass before absorption 155 ± 6 g/m²
• Surface mass after absorption 60 ± 10 g/m²
• Pore size before absorption 4.8 x 1.5 mm
• Pore size after absorption 4.6 x 2 mm m
• Thickness before absorption 0.93 ± 0.02 mm
• Thickness after absorption 0.76 ± 0.02 mm
• Resistance before PLLA absorption 52N/cm
• Resistance after PLLA absorption 37N/c
