MELEKIRMAK POLYPROPELENE MONOLENE MESH

Product Description

DESCRIPTION: MELEKIRMAK MONOLENE MESH is constructed of knitted filaments of extruded Polypropylene, a synthetic linear poly-olefin (C3 H6) n identical in composition. MONOLENE MESH is available undyed in a variety ofsquare and rectangular sizes for surgical procedures. The mesh is approximately 0.5mm ***** MONOLENE MESH is knitted by a process which interlinks each fiber junction and provides for elasticity in both directions. This construction permits the mesh to be cut into any desired shape or size without unraveling. The fiber junctions are not subject to the same work fatigue exhibited by more rigid metallic meshes. This bidirectional extendable property allows adaptation to various stresses encountered in the body. This material, when used has been reported to be minimally reactive and to retain its strength for an indefinite period in clinical use. The mesh has high burst strength of *2 kg/cm'.to *4 kg/cm2. PERFORMANCE: MELEKIRMAK MONOLENE MESH is a non absorbable mesh, used to span and reinforce traumatic or surgicalwounds to provide extended support during and following wound healing. This mesh elicits minimal inflammatory reaction, which is transient and is followed by the deposition of a thin fibrous layer of tissue which can grow through the interstices of the mesh, thus incorporating the mesh into the adjacent tissue. The mesh remains soft and pliable and the wound healing is not noticeably impaired. The mesh is not absorbed nor is subject to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes. INDICATIONS: MELEKIRMAK MONOLENE MESH may be used for the repair of hernia, uterovaginal prolapse, endoscopic procedures and other facial deficiencies that require the addition of a reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical result. APPLICATION: It is recommended that non absorbable sutures or staples be placed 6.5 to *2.5mm apart at a distance approximately 6.5mm from the edge of the mesh. Some surgeons prefer to suture an uncut section of the mesh that is considered larger than the defect into position over the wound. The opposite sides are then sutured to assure proper closure under correct tension. When the margin sutures have all been placed, the extra mesh is trimmed away. CONTRA INDICATIONS: When this mesh is used in infants or children with future growth potential, the surgeon should be aware that this product will not stretch significantly as the patient ***** MONOLENE MESH in contaminated wounds should be used with the understanding that subsequent infection may require removal of the material. WARNING: Users should be familiar with surgical procedures and techniques involving non absorbable meshes before employing MELEKIRMAK MONOLENE MESH for wound closure. Acceptable surgical practice should be followed for the management of infected or contaminated wounds. MELEKIRMAK MONOLENE MESH is supplied as a sterile product. Resterilization is not recommended. However when the mesh is not used immediately after removal from the pack, it can be subject to conventional method of sterilizing in an autoclave at ***0 centigrade for *0 minutes before use. lf this mesh is stained with blood or soiled, it should not be sterilized for reuse. PRECAUTIONS: Minimum of 6.5mm of mesh should extend beyond the suture line. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Adverse reactions are those associated with surgically implantable materials which include infection potentiation, inflammation, adhesion formation, fistula formation and extrusion.
