GORE® DUALMESH® Biomaterial is the first dual-surface material that encourages host tissue ingrowth while minimizing tissue attachment in the reconstructions of certain hernias and soft tissue deficiencies.*,1,2 

GORE® DUALMESH® Biomaterial offers surgeons a variety of impressive advantages, including:

  • Dual-surface material: A textured GORE® CORDUROY Surface encourages host tissue incorporation, while the other surface is smooth to minimize tissue attachment.2
  • Versatile application: Conformable polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material trims to match the defect, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. 

The biomaterial is designed with two functionally distinct surfaces. One side features a textured CORDUROY Surface to encourage host tissue incorporation, while the other surface is smooth to minimize tissue attachment.1,2 This product is conformable and trimmable, making it suitable for a variety of procedures including ventral/incisional hernias, diaphragmatic hernias, and chest soft wall tissue deficiencies.
