PerFix hernia plug is one of the most
significant advances in groin hernia repair in the past twenty years,"
stated Drs. Alan W. Robbins and Ira M. Rutkow of "The Hernia Center" in
Freehold, NJ.
In fact, they have shown that when the PerFix
plug is used, the entire operation using local anesthesia
can be performed in twenty-five minutes or less, with patients returning
quickly to unrestricted activities.

Bard® PerFix® Plug
The Bard PerFix plug technique, recommended for
the treatment of all primary and recurrent indirect and direct inguinal
hernias, provides significant advantages over a conventional suture
technique, requiring less overall dissection and is utilized in a
complete “tension-free” repair technique. The result is
increased patient comfort, fast rehabilitation, and fewer recurrences.
The entire operation can take 25 minutes or less.* In addition, the technique offers significant time and
cost-saving benefits. The tapered shape of the PerFix plug
eases insertion into the hernia defect, while the pre-shaped onlay
patch accommodates the anatomy of the inguinal canal. This ready-to-use
plug design minimizes any need to tailor perioperatively. The entire
operation takes less time from incision to dressing placement. Technical
simplicity means general anesthesia is not required.
