MK™† Hernia Patch

MK™† Patch with Posiflex™ Memory Technology

Anterior approach to a preperitoneal inguinal repair.

Benefits:

  • Each of the three larger sizes covers all three spaces in the groin region: direct, indirect and femoral, and therefore, the onlay patch is not required.
  • The Posiflex™ Memory Technology helps to avoid buckling and folding of the mesh and helps to ensure the patch lays flat in the preperitoneal space.
  • Biomechanics of intraabdominal pressure helps secure the patch in place.††
  • Minimally-invasive technique can be completed through a small 4-6 cm incision.
  • Minimal fixation may reduce post-operative pain and the risk of neuralgia.†††
  • A positioning strap and pocket facilitates placement, positioning and fixation of the device.
