Multi-purpose surgical mesh, metallic

Definition

A sterile flat woven/knitted material made of a biocompatible metal (e.g., surgical stainless steel, tantalum) with appropriate mechanical characteristics for implantation. This non-dedicated device is used alone or in combination with synthetic materials (e.g., polymers) to support or protect tissues in reconstructive surgical procedures (e.g., to repair large chest wall defects or large abdominal incisional hernias) and/or orthopaedic procedures (e.g., cranioplasty, femoral reconstruction). Disposable devices associated with implantation (e.g., introducer needles, trocars) may be included.
