OverviewTri-dimensional self-fixativeSwing-Contact® devices are intended for abdominal wall reinforcement in the treatment of ventral and inguinal hernias via open or laparoscopic surgery.
Variants- CO3+: For laparoscopic or open surgery
- CO3A: Preferably for laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal approach (TEP)
Features- Self-fixative tri-dimensional "honeycomb" knitted polyester (PET) prosthesis impregnated with polyurethane (PUR) and provided with atraumatic grips on both sides
- Does not require additional fixation
- Easy repositioning during surgery
- Porous structure to promote tissue ingrowth and colonization
- Shape memory, elasticity and multidirectional mechanical properties for laparoscopic or open use
