GORE DUALMESH® PLUS Biomaterial Inhibits Implant Infections by Drug-resistant 'superbugs® and Resists Biofilm Development
14 February 2007 - Hernia repair patch is the only to inhibit adherence of 10 different bacteria and resist initial biofilm formation for 14 days post-implantation

Why use DUALMESH® Biomaterial in a hernia repair?

The DUALMESH® Patch, made completely of ePTFE, is ideal for hernia repair because it; 1) will result in the permanent repair of the abdominal wall, 2) has ingrowth characteristics that mimic normal tissue healing, 3) easily assumes the conformity of the abdominal wall musculature anatomy, and 4) cuts easily without fraying.

GORE DUALMESH® PLUS Biomaterial
GORE DUALMESH® PLUS Biomaterial is the only prosthetic material designed for intraperitoneal use that contains the two antimicrobial agents (chlorhexidine and silver) that act synergistically to inhibit microbial colonization of, and resist initial biofilm formation on, the biomaterial for up to 14 days post implantation.
