Covidien Mesh Short-Dated
The mesh portfolio from the former Covidien AutoSuture business is now part of Medtronic’s Hernia and Wound Management segment within the Surgical Operating Unit. This division offers a broad range of synthetic and biologic hernia repair meshes along with fixation devices and surgical accessories used in open and laparoscopic hernia repair.
Key products include:
- Parietex™ mesh family – a widely used line of polyester-based meshes, including Parietex™ Composite (PCO), Parietex™ ProGrip™ (self-gripping), and Parietex™ Hydrophilic meshes designed for tissue integration and ease of handling.
- Symbotex™ – a composite mesh featuring a bioabsorbable collagen barrier, designed for intraperitoneal placement in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
- ProGrip™ – self-fixating mesh that eliminates or reduces the need for additional fixation devices.
- Permacol™ – a biologic porcine dermal collagen implant for complex abdominal wall and soft tissue reconstruction.
Medtronic continues to evolve this portfolio with a focus on patient outcomes, surgeon preference, and procedure-specific solutions, building on the foundation established by AutoSuture and Covidien’s long-standing presence in hernia repair.
