The patient, a 74 year old male presented with a ventral hernia becoming progressively more symptomatic. The hernia sac was large and distorting normal abdominal wall contour, despite central obesity. He underwent a ventral hernia repair utilizing an Exogenesis nanoMesh placed in the retrorectus position, and the defect was closed. There were no complications.
Exogenesis Hernia Mesh (nanoMesh) is an innovative soft tissue repair implant, constructed of monofilament polypropylene (PP) and possesses a unique nanometer-level surface texture, via the application of Accelerated Neutral Atom Beam (ANAB) technology during manufacturing.
The implant is indicated for the repair of abdominal wall hernias and abdominal wall deficiencies that require the addition of reinforcing material to obtain the desired surgical result. Exogenesis nanoMesh is expected to be commercially available throughout the US during 2021.
