BD Introduced a Groundbreaking Advancement in Hernia Repair
References: prnewswire
BD made major advancements in hernia repair with the introduction of the 'Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch,' the first fully absorbable mesh specifically designed for umbilical hernia procedures. This innovation combines a biologically derived material, Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), with a hydrogel barrier based on Sepra® Technology.
Figuring as a resorbable alternative to permanent mesh implants, the Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch maintains the familiar surgical technique of traditional mesh repairs while addressing growing patient and surgeon preferences for non-permanent hernia repair solutions. The absorbable nature of the mesh eliminates long-term implant retention, which potentially reduces concerns about chronic inflammation, foreign body reactions, or complications associated with permanent synthetic materials. Its pocket-and-strap design simplifies placement and fixation, building on the proven success of BD’s Ventralex™ ST Hernia Patch, which has been used in over two million procedures globally.
