Ventrio™ ST Hernia Patch

• An extensively studied barrier with more than 10 publications and used clinically since 2007.
• The unique hydrogel barrier swells to minimize tissue attachment to the visceral side of the mesh.
• Bioresorbable PGA fibers reinforce the integrity of the hydrogel barrier by binding it to the polypropylene mesh.
• The hydrogel barrier resorbs within 30 days providing visceral protection during the critical healing period.

• Unique pocket aids in the proper placement and positioning of the patch.
• Designed to facilitate the use of mechanical fixation devices and/or sutures.
• Available in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate defect sizes and locations.

The Ventrio™ ST Hernia Patch is compatible in both open and laparoscopic ventral procedures with the Optifix™ and SorbaFix Absorbable Fixation Systems, as well as the CapSure and PermaFix Permanent Fixation Systems.

• Provides the benefits of a laparoscopic repair through the ease of a smaller incision.
• SorbaFlex™ Memory Technology allows the patch to “spring open,” lay flat to maintain shape, and then fully absorbs over time.
• Simplifies placement and positioning of the patch throughout the ventral hernia repair.

• No preperitoneal lateral dissection may reduce surgical time and lead to quick patient recovery.
• Minimized dissection may reduce the chance of infection and seroma as well as the need for drains.
• The unique SorbaFlex™ Memory Technology permits rolling of the patch for easy insertion, allowing the patch to “spring open,” lay flat to maintain shape and then fully absorb over time.

• The design of the Ventrio™ ST Hernia Patch allows the use of the familiar CK™/ Ventrio™ Hernia Patch technique for open ventral hernia repair.
  
• The technique is peer-reviewed and supported by published clinical data.

• Hydrogel barrier is based on Sepra® Technology.
• Uncoated monofilament polypropylene mesh allows for complete tissue ingrowth leading to a strong repair.
• Materials have been used in general surgery for years with demonstrated clinical success.²

Logarithmic regression curve of mean force of lap-shear strength as a function of time. 74% of the 12-week strength is achieved by 2 weeks post-operatively. 

• Over 40 years of proven results in hernia repair. 
• Allows a fast fibrotic response for a strong repair. 
•  Provides a long-term repair with minimized recurrence.

•  Hydrogel barrier is based on the Sepra® technology which has more than 10 publications and has been used clinically since 2007. 
• Unique hydrogel barrier swells to minimize tissue attachment to the visceral side of the mesh.8 
• The Sepramesh™ IP Composite resorbs within 30 days providing visceral protection during the critical healing process. 
•  Bioresorbable PGA fibers reinforce the integrity of the hydrogel barrier by binding it to the polypropylene mesh.

• Polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament is commonly used in other well-known surgical products (e.g. suture). 
• Unique in its flexibility and tensile strength, it facilitates patch insertion and proper placement. 
• Absorption via hydrolysis is essentially complete in 24-32 weeks.

• The Ventrio™ ST Hernia Patch is compatible in both open and laparoscopic ventral procedures with the OptiFix™ Absorbable Fixation.
• System and the CapSure™ Permanent Fixation System.
