Biomerix of Fremont, CA has received FDA clearance for its ventral hernia repair mesh. The mesh has two different sides, one covered with Biomerix Biomaterial, which promotes tissue ingrowth, and on the other side a resorbable protective film which minimizes tissue attachment of the viscera. The Biomerix Biomaterial mimics the natural extracellular matrix, consisting of a three-dimensional, open-cell, macroporous structure that selectively adsorbs plasma and proteins. This stimulates cells to migrate and attach to the material. Indications for the mesh are hernia repair, soft tissue deficiencies and temporary bridging of fascial defects.
