Tri-layer hybrid solution

GORE® SYNECOR Intraperitoneal Biomaterial offers a tri-layer hybrid solution that is strong for the life of the repair and is designed to support a single, effective repair in complex patients (VHWG 2).1 It is intended for use in the repair of ventral / incisional hernias that may require the addition of a non-absorbable reinforcing or bridging material.

Strength

Durable strength of the material helps to support robust healing that may lower the risk of recurrence versus lightweight and mid-weight meshes, which may have inadequate strength in complex patients (VHWG 2).2-4

Rapid vascularization

The product may help to improve surgical outcomes for patients and providers by reducing the risk of post-operative infection and may reduce bacterial adhesion,5 facilitating rapid vascularization. (Data on file 2015; W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.; Flagstaff, AZ.)

Ease of use

Designed for ease of use during minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robotic) and open surgical procedures. The material is flexible and conformable and has memory for easy unrolling, handling and optimal placement.
