Clever Partially Absorbable Mesh

A lightweight surgical mesh combining durable and absorbable materials, designed to provide temporary support during tissue healing while reducing long-term foreign body presence in procedures such as hernia repair.

Clever Partially Absorbable Mesh by Invamed merges the benefits of both non-absorbable and absorbable polymers in a single, lightweight implant. This unique hybrid structure maintains robust long-term support while reducing mesh mass over time, minimizing post-operative complications and improving patient comfort. Particularly suitable for ventral, incisional, or inguinal hernia repairs, this mesh delivers superior integration and encourages a smoother healing process.

Hybrid Fiber Composition
  • Combination of non-absorbable polypropylene (PP) or polyester with absorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) or polylactic acid (PLA) filaments, creating a partially absorbable scaffold.
  • Over time, the absorbable components safely degrade, reducing overall mesh mass and lessening foreign-body reaction while maintaining essential tensile strength.
  • Designed with low-profile weaving that enhances suppleness, promoting natural abdominal wall motion and diminishing patient discomfort.
  • Decreased mesh stiffness aids in optimal tissue ingrowth, reducing the risk of chronic pain or mesh-induced complications.
  • High-purity polymer composition ensures minimal inflammatory response, fostering stable integration with host tissues.
  • Mesh can be anchored via sutures, tacks, or adhesives, with long-lasting fixation from the permanent polymer component.
  • Macro-porous design allows fluid drainage, cell infiltration, and vascularization—critical for robust scar formation and lower infection risk.
  • Facilitates easier endoscopic visibility (when used laparoscopically), ensuring confident and accurate placement.
  • Ideal for ventral hernia repairs (incisional, umbilical, epigastric), inguinal hernias, or other abdominal wall defects requiring partial absorption and long-term reinforcement.
  • Particularly beneficial for patients with higher risk of chronic pain or those requiring a lightweight mesh alternative.
