As published studies have shown,
not all “polypropylene mesh” or “highly
porous” mesh products perform the same. It is also
clear that not all meshes “feel” the same, handle
the same and most important, do not deliver the same clinical
outcome. Only one has been carefully engineered to deliver
the now proven performance results, preferred by most surgeons
and patients alike. Less pain, enhanced patient comfort,
fewer recurrences or complications are all desirable characteristics
that cannot be achieved with just any prosthetic mesh implant.
Atrium utilizes a unique knit construction
whereby its monofilaments are aligned in parallell spaced
angles, to maximize material
flexibility in two dimensions. No bulky "rails" of
compacted or flattened filaments, just a smooth and very
uniform open architecture. Next we developed a proprietary
material process to help "relax and stabilize" the
mesh polymer so it responds to flexing and handling without
classic "window shade" memory, commonly found with
more traditional, less flexible polypropylene constructions.
Surgical mesh and plug innovations evolved from experts in
biomaterial science.
