Ventralight™ ST Mesh
Uncoated medium weight monofilament polypropylene mesh on the anterior side with an absorbable hydrogel ® barrier based on Sepra Technxology on the posterior side for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
Overview:
Low profile design facilitates trocar deployment and mechanical fixation.
Multiple shapes (circle, oval, ellipse, rectangle) and sizes.
Easily cut to customize shape and size. The unique hydrogel barrier covers the edge of the mesh even after trimming.
INDICATIONS
Ventralight™ ST Mesh is indicated for use in the reconstruction of soft tissue deficiencies, such as for the repair of hernias.
CONTRAINDICATIONS

Literature reports there may be a possibility for adhesion formation when the polypropylene is placed in direct contact with the bowel or viscera.
WARNINGS
Ensure proper orientation; the coated side of the prosthesis should be oriented against the bowel or sensitive organs. Do not place the polypropylene side against the bowel. There may be a possibility for adhesion formation when the polypropylene side is placed in direct contact with the bowel or viscera.
If an infection develops, treat the infection aggressively. Consideration should be given regarding the need to remove the prosthesis. An unresolved infection may require removal of the prosthesis. Possible complications include seroma, adhesions, hematomas, inflammation, extrusion, fistula formation and recurrence of the hernia or soft tissue defect.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Possible complications include seroma, adhesions, hematomas, inflammation, extrusion, fistula formation, infection, allergic reaction, and recurrence of the hernia or soft tissue defect.
Please consult package insert for more detailed safety information and instructions for use.
