Abdominal hernia surgical mesh, composite-polymer

Definition

A sterile, flat, or three-dimensional (3-D), woven/knitted material made of two or more polymers that includes a bioabsorbable polymer [e.g., polyglycolic acid (PGA)] and a non-bioabsorbable polymer [e.g., polyethylene (PE)] intended to be permanently implanted for abdominal hernia (e.g., inguinal, ventral/incisional, umbilical, femoral) and fascial defect repair/reinforcement applications, and excludes devices designed specifically for diaphragmatic hernia repair. It may also be used as a short-term scaffold for tissue regeneration. Disposable devices associated with implantation (e.g., introducer needles, trocars) may be included.
