Abstract
A surgical implant suitable for treatment of hernias is provided. The implant comprises a mesh having a residual maximum mass density of 50 g/m2. The mesh comprises strands forming spaces and the strands comprise filaments forming pores. The spaces and pores are sized to minimise foreign body mass for implantation and to encourage integration of the implant. The mesh may be delivered using Dual Phase Technology™ for ease of handling, cutting and placement. The Dual Phase Technology™ may include encapsulation or coating with hydrogel.
