Ethicon Ultrapro Partially Absorbable Hernia Repair Mesh - UltraPro Partially Absorbable Mesh, 3" x 6" - UMR3

ULTRAPRO™ Mesh is manufactured from approximately equal parts of absorbable poliglecaprone-25 monofilament fiber and non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament fiber. The polymer of the undyed and dyed polypropylene fiber (phthalocyanineblue, Color Index No.: 74160) is identical to the material used for dyed / undyed PROLENE™ suture material. Poliglecaprone-25 fiber consists of a copolymer containing glycolide and ?-caprolactone; this copolymer is identical to the material used for MONOCRYL™ suture. After absorption of the poliglecaprone-25 component, only the polypropylene mesh remains.The structure and size of this remaining mesh are optimally designed for the pysiological stresses of the abdominal wall.
