The sterile and surgical meshes are made from undyed polypropylene filaments. The knitted filaments have a smooth and hydrophobic surface, which biologically are inert. High elasticity in both directions guarantees good elasticity and flexibility. This construction permits the mesh to be cut into any desired shape or size without unraveling.
The meshes’ tensile strength and tear resistance are adapted to the natural body properties, so the meshes can be used for various indications.
The special structure, increased pore size, and particularly fine monofilaments provide a macroporous, very light, and flexible mesh implant. Its greater porosity allows a more rapid ingrowth of the body’s cells, which stabilizes tissues.
The mesh can be fixed in a wound place. For this purpose, non-absorbable suture material should be used at a distance of at least 6.5 mm from the edge of the mesh.
SKY meshes are available in different sizes, which show high strength and high flexibility. SKY meshes are available in a weight of approx. 125 g/m2 or the light version with a weight of approx. 55 g/m2.
Indication: SKY meshes are indicated in the operative treatment of fascial defects in particular hernias, which require long-term bridging of damaged structures
