Biomechanical Properties of a Novel Mesh Suture in a Cadaveric Flexor Tendon Repair Model
J Hand Surg Am. 2019
Mesh suture-based flexor tendon repairs could lead to improved healing at earlier time points. The findings could allow for earlier mobilization, decreased adhesion formation, and lower rupture rates after flexor tendon repairs.
DURA MESH™ Better Resists Early Laparotomy Failure in a Cyclic Ball-Burst Model
Scheiber, C.J., Kurapaty, S.S., Goldman, S.M. et al. Hernia 24, 559–565 (2020)
DURAMESH laparotomy closure may represent a viable alternative strategy for preventing initial suture pull-through and wound dehiscence which may lead to incisional hernia formation.
Experimental Study of the Characteristics of a Novel Mesh Suture
Br J Surg. 102:1285-92, 2015.
This technology may dramatically increase the reliability of high-tension closures, thereby preventing incisional hernia after laparotomy.
An In Vivo Comparison: Novel Mesh Suture Versus Traditional Suture-Based Repair in a Rabbit Tendon Model
Janes, LE et al. Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online, 2021.
The 2-strand tendon repair with suturable mesh achieved significantly greater strength at 2 weeks than the conventional suture material.
DURA MESH™ Demonstrates Improved Outcomes over Standard Suture in a Porcine Laparotomy Closure Model
Dumanian, GA. PRSGo: October 2021 - Volume 9 - Issue 10 - p e3879
Suturable Mesh is a more reliable tissue approximation device than a standard suture.
Early Experience with Mesh Suture for DIEP Flap Abdominal Site Closures
Hackenberger PN et al. Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2024 Aug 22;12(8):e6095.
DURA MESH mesh suture provides a promising opportunity for DIEP surgeons to minimize both abdominal wall morbidity and mesh-related complications.
DURAMESH ™ Registry Study: Short-Term Outcomes Using Mesh Suture for Abdominal Wall Closure
Hackenberger PN et al. Front. Surg., 10 January 2024, Sec. Visceral Surgery, Volume 10 - 2023
In treatment of the abdominal wall, data are promising, with low incidence of surgical site infections and surgical site events.
