ETHICON, a division of Johnson & Johnson Medical, has announced the launch of the Proceed Ventral Patch, the latest addition to its family of hernia products. The umbilical hernia repair device is indicated for use in umbilical, epigastric, small ventral and trocar site hernias.
The Proceed Ventral Patch is a sterile, self-expanding, partially absorbable, lighter-weight flexible mesh device. The product design offers surgeons secure and stable deployment, strength with no expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), leaving less foreign material in the body after absorption, and a partially absorbable macroporous construction for a natural healing process.
