The Bard Kugel Hernia Patch is the first mesh designed to
be used in a open, tension-free, preperitoneal hernia repair technique.
This minimally invasive, "near-sutureless", posterior repair is performed
through a 3-4 centimeter incision, under local or regional anesthesia.
With the Bard Kugel Hernia Patch you get
a true preperitoneal repair that covers all three possible defects, and
therefore minimizes the chance of recurrence.

Bard® Kugel® Patch
The Bard Kugel hernia
patch in constructed of a double layer of monofilament polypropylene.
This construction creates a positioning pocket, which is used to guide
the patch into proper placement. The patch also contains a patent
protected "memory recoil ring". This ring allows the patch to spring
open and maintain its shape during placement.
In addition to repairing the existing hernia, the Bard
Kugel patch also minimizes the possibility of a new hernia.
The prosthesis covers the entire inguinal floor, minimizing the chance
of a recurrence or new hernia through all three potential sites: the
indirect, direct and femoral. The result of the Bard
Kugel hernia patch is an open, preperitoneal repair, which
offers all the benefits of a laparoscopic hernia repair, without the
possible complications,1,2 and added costs1.
