Nicast out of Lod, Israel, developers of fine electrospun polymer “nanofabric”, will be introducing the company’s new NovaMesh™ Ventral Hernia Mesh at Medica 2008 conference in Germany next week. We have profiled Nicast’s proprietary poly-urethane nanometric scale fiber scaffolding twice before (see flashbacks at the end of this post).
From the product page:
The NovaMesh Ventral Hernia Mesh features improved resistance to tissue adhesion on the visceral-facing surface, and promotes excellent tissue ingrowth on the fascial surface. The NovaMesh is the first hernia mesh to exploit the unique properties of electrospun nanofabric.
These include:Improved resistance to tissue adhesion on the visceral-facing surface Excellent tissue ingrowth on the fascial surface Near-perfect flatness, no creasing or kinking following tight rolling and unrolling Biomimetic electrospun nanofabric Easy handling and laparoscopic insertion – all sizes can fit through a trocar No shrinkage
