A Polypropylene Mesh Kit is a medical device commonly used in surgical procedures to repair hernias and other fascial defects. The kit typically includes a non-absorbable, synthetic mesh made from polypropylene, which provides permanent support to weakened or damaged tissue.

Applications:

• Hernia Repair: Polypropylene mesh is frequently utilized in both open and laparoscopic hernia surgeries to reinforce the abdominal wall and reduce the risk of recurrence. For instance, PROLENE™ Polypropylene Mesh is indicated for the repair of abdominal wall hernias and deficiencies requiring reinforcement.
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair: In procedures like sacrocolpopexy, polypropylene mesh serves as a bridging material to support pelvic organs. Products such as Restorelle® Y-Mesh are designed specifically for transabdominal pelvic organ prolapse repair.

Considerations:

• Safety and Efficacy: Studies have shown that self-cut polypropylene mesh can be as effective and safe as commercial mesh kits for certain surgical procedures, potentially offering cost savings.
• Complications: While polypropylene mesh is widely used, it's important to be aware of potential complications, such as infection or mesh erosion, which may require additional surgical intervention. A study reported varying complication rates following prolapse surgery using different types of mesh materials.

Description:   Relyon mesh is constructed of  knitted undyed filaments of  Monofilament Polypropylene.

Length(Cm):  Length of the mesh is not less than 95% of the length stated on the label.

Width (Cm):  Width of the mesh is not less than 95% of the length stated on the label   

Average Mesh Density (Gm/Sq.M):  Ten meshes of same size are taken and weighed and average  weight is taken. Weight in gram divided by average area of the mesh,                        determined  by multiplying the length and width in Metre gives the average                         density in gram / Sq. metre. (Limit: 120 +/- 5 Gram)

Average Thickness (mm):  Thickness of  ten meshes is measured using a dial gauge and   the average is taken   (Limit: 0.69 mm to 0.74 mm)                  

No. of pores in between one inch length:16

Height of  pore:  0.85 to 0.89 mm

Width of pore:  0.83 to 0.87 mm

Linear Tensile Strength: Not less than 15 Kgf   

Tear Resistance: Not less than 4.5  Kgf

Burst Strength: Not less than 12 Kg/Sq.Cm

Suture Pull out Strength: Not less than  4.0 Kgf

Sterility Test: Complies when tested as per U.S.P. 33 rd edition.
