Secant Medical® leads the way in lightweight textile mesh structures for a wide variety of surgical procedures that require tissue reinforcement and wound support. Hernia repair, urethral suspension, rotator cuff reinforcement, and adhesion prevention are but a few areas where Secant Medical is an innovation leader.
A Heavyweight in Lightweight Biomaterials
Working with a variety of permanent and absorbable fibers as small as 1 mil (25.4 microns), Secant Medical has a long history of innovation in lightweight, macroporous, and reduced surface area mesh. Each medical textile application requires a unique combination of biomaterial selection and design expertise to meet the surgical demands of superior handling characteristics, ease of installation, precise fixation, and ideal physiological response. Biomimetic elasticity and compliance are two important mesh design attention points that can be custom-tailored to meet even the most demanding specifications.
Key Benefits of Implantable Fabrics
Lightweight biomedical textiles and fabrics used in meshes, slings, and other components offer significant advantages:- Tailored handling characteristics, elasticity and compliance
- Optimal porosity for tissue ingrowth
- Less permanent material
- Secure fixation
- Improved patient comfort
- Ability to tailor and taper shapes
- Adhesion prevention through the use of bioresorbable and hybrid material solutions
