While the use of mesh plugs in hernia repair is a well-known procedure, Atrium has introduced a number of innovations to speed patient recovery, enhance patient comfort, and simplify the procedure.

The first of these is the unique ProLoop™ Plug, a true three-dimensional plug composed of knitted rows of monofilament polypropylene with multiple protruding monofilament loops. A true breakthrough in hernia repair, the ProLoop requires no change in existing technique, conforms snugly to any size defect, simplifies suturing, and, with 25% less material than traditional flat mesh plugs, offers improved biocompatibility for faster recovery.

Another solution, Atrium’s Self-Forming Plugs, exemplify Atrium’s practice of listening to surgeons and creating solutions to meet their needs. With a raised center tab for ease in handling with forceps, easily-tailored layers, and a unique self-expanding design that maximizes tissue contact and that will not “pop back out” in the procedure, the self-forming plug has never been better!

When an onlay is needed or desired for additional strengthening of a repair, Atrium’s Preshape Patches, composed of our proven ProLite mesh, provide superior strength and biocompatibility.
