Davol Inc. Hernia Repair - Modified Kugel(TM) Patch

The Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch is a self-expanding prosthetic patch that can be used for repairing small hernias and closing trocar site defects. The device allows for an intra-abdominal tension free repair that may reduce the chance of post-op pain.

Bard^® Ventralex^® Hernia Patch

The Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch is the first prosthesis specifically designed for small ventral, umbilical, and epigastric hernia repairs. It is a self-expanding polypropylene & ePTFE patch with a memory recoil ring and placement straps indicated for:

Hernia repairs requiring reinforcement with a nonabsorbable support material
Repair of soft tissue deficiencies, including deficiencies caused by trocars

This umbilical hernia patch was designed to build on the benefits of the Composix^® Kugel^® patch with product features such as:

Positioning straps to facilitate placement and suturing.
Dual action - the polypropylene mesh side encourages tissue ingrowth into the abdominal wall while the ePTFE layer, with sub-micronal porosity, minimizes tissue attachment to the mesh’s posterior side.
Memory recoil ring enables the patch to be folded and later “pop open” and lay flat after insertion into the intra-abdominal space.

The Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch allows the physician to avoid the lateral dissection needed to develop a pre-peritoneal pocket. Post-operative pain may be reduced because the Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch requires minimal dissection when placed intra-abdominally and minimal suturing to secure the prosthesis.

The Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch empowers physicians, giving them a product that may be used in a tension-free repair of the smallest hernia defects.
