EGYMONOCRYL / EGYPROLENE composite
PGA-PCL / Polypropylene
Partial absorbable hernia mesh
1- DESCRIPTION:
EGYMIX is a partially absorbable knitted mixed monofilament mesh. The knitted monofilament is constructed by 50% synthetic polypropylene (non-absorbable) and 50% PGA-PCL (absorbable) which provides its strength and malleability.
Polypropylene strands are composed of isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. PGA-PCL is a polymerization of polyglycolide-co-caprolactone.
2- Indication:
Since Polypropylene/PGA-PCL mesh is inert, it is recommended when permanent or extended tissue support is surgically required.
EGYMIX (partially absorbable) keep the initial stiffness as pure polypropylene (non-absorbable) mesh which is helpful during the implantation procedure, and on other hand it will loss 50% of its mass after 90 days to avoid mass heaviness felt by the patient.
The unique by shape structure of the mono-filament thread that composing EGYMIX help in more homogenous tissue supporting after complete absorption of the PGA-PCL moiety
3- HOW SUPPLIED:
EGYMIX is laser cut into 7 sizes : 6cm x11cm, 10cm x12cm, 10cm x15cm, 15cm x15cm, 15cm x20cm and 30cmx30cm . EGYMIX is available in a box containing 1 piece.
4- STERILIZATION:
EGYMIX is sterilized by ethylene oxide gas (ETO).
