Ethicon, Inc. Introduces Two Innovative Devices for Minimally Invasive Hernia Repair During American College of Surgeons (ACS) Annual Meeting

October 4, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

SOMERVILLE, N.J., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Ethicon, Inc., a
worldwide leader in surgical care, today announced the launch of
ETHICON SECURESTRAP™ 5mm Absorbable Strap Fixation Device,
the first fixation device to feature an absorbable “strap” design,
and ETHICON PHYSIOMESH™ Flexible Composite Mesh. These two
new surgical devices provide secure mesh fixation and address
patient comfort and surgeon ease-of-use in laparoscopic (minimally
invasive) hernia repair procedures – the sixth most common
outpatient surgery in the US. ETHICON SECURESTRAP™ and
ETHICON PHYSIOMESH™ were recently granted 510(k) market
clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These
devices, which expand Ethicon’s broad portfolio of hernia
solutions, will be featured during the American College of Surgeons
(ACS) 96th Annual Clinical Congress, October 3-7, 2010 in
Washington, D.C.

“Hernias are extremely common with more than one million
Americans undergoing a hernia repair procedure every year,” said
Carl R. Doerhoff, MD, FACS, a practicing surgeon in Jefferson City,
Missouri.* “Within the last five years we have seen tremendous
innovations that advance the science of hernia repair and help our
patients achieve optimal results.”

The unique, absorbable “strap” design of ETHICON
SECURESTRAP™ offers surgeons several advantages when
performing hernia repair procedures. These include two points of
fixation to straddle mesh pores and fibers including large-pore
constructions, excellent holding strength when deployed at
different angles, and secure mesh fixation during the
tissue integration period.  The low profile of ETHICON
SECURESTRAP™ minimizes a patient’s exposure to foreign
material on the internal organs.  

ETHICON PHYSIOMESH™, a light-weight and
partially-absorbable polypropylene mesh, stretches to closely match
the abdominal wall. The large pore construction allows for
