Kugel Hernia Patch

The Kugel repair technique involves making a small incision (3cm – 4cm) and creating a pocket in the preperitoneal space. Patients with a defective Kugel patch have continued to experience hernia mesh infection complications.The Composix Bard Kugel hernia mesh patch is then placed inside the abdominal cavity behind the hernia through the incision. The patch is held open by the plastic memory recoil ring that allows the patch to be folded during insertion and later spring open and lay flat after it is properly in place.

The Kugel hernia mesh repair patch was designed for use in open ventral hernia repair in order to help eliminate the tension and strain on surrounding muscles and ligaments thereby reducing discomfort after surgery. It is specifically for repairing the abdominal wall by reinforcing the weak tissue around the hernia.
