“Bard Visilex mesh is the first polypropylene mesh specifically designed for laparoscopic hernia repair. Visilex mesh directly addresses the critical issues associated with laparoscopic procedures. More specifically, it delivers maximum visibility, enhanced maneuverability and retains a flat profile after insertion through the trocar. Visilex mesh is the culmination of input and insight from laparoscopic surgeons. With a myriad of clinical benefits, it will change the way you look at laparoscopic hernia repair. The Visilex reinforced edge can be easily grasped and manipulated with standard laparoscopic instruments, eliminating the need for additional instruments to assist in mesh positioning. The Visilex reinforced edge also helps the mesh easily return to its original flat shape after simple insertion through the trocar. During placement, the mesh maintains flexibility necessary to conform to the anatomy – without ever losing the integrity of its shape. Visilex mesh is the first laparoscopic mesh to offer the clinical advantage of a patented reinforced edge. Visilex Mesh Comes with One Other Significant Advantage: Our Monofilament Polypropylene. Visilex mesh is constructed with monofilament polypropylene for which Bard is famous. This proven material is inert in the presence of infection, will not harbor bacteria, and promotes tissue ingrowth1-3. Furthermore, the unique knit construction of Visilex mesh will not unravel. Not surprisingly, this monofilament polypropylene continues to be the material of choice for lasting hernia repair.” Biomedicine.org
