Smartmesh™ is the physiologically compatible, ultra lightweight mesh which encourages superior collagen growth for optimal outcomes. SMARTMESH™ TECHNOLOGY IS THE ONLY MESH THAT WAS INVENTED SPECIFICALLY WITH A WOMAN’S ANATOMY AND TISSUE HEALING REQUIREMENTS IN MIND.
- 4 years safety data – over 9,000 cases
- Near zero erosion rate and foreign body complications
- Less than 1% erosion rate in vaginal mesh repair¹
- Lightest mesh available in women’s health - 19 gsm¹
- Vaginal elasticity maintained
- Non-palpable to the patient and her partner
- Uniform 1.8 mm macropores
- Low incidence of de novo dyspareunia
- Patented 100 micron interstitial Smartpores™
- Greater tissue strength 3 months post-operatively yielding 71% more mature type 1 collagen²
- Reduce inflammation
- Warp knit construction – eliminates fraying when cutting and trimming
- Hydrophilic properties allow mesh to drape and contour easily
- Low memory allows for easier handling
- Isotropic multi-directional stretch
Smartmesh™ has patented interstitial Smartpores™ of 100 micron diameter which allow for preferential fibroblastic entry. Therefore, the combination of strand diameter, macroporous construction and the actual size of the interstitial spaces, have been shown to promote stronger new collagen formation and more mature collagen than heavy meshes. Additionally, Smartmesh™ causes less chronic inflammation than heavier meshes as macrophages and neutrophils are better able to enter the Smartpores™ so as to reduce the proliferation of infection. Smartmesh™ is soft to the touch and most importantly non-palpable to the patient, which allows for less post-operative vaginal rigidity.
