Medtronic PCO2H3 Parietex Composite (PCO) Hiatal Hernia Repair Mesh

Parietex Composite hiatal mesh PCO2H3 is an 9cm × 8cm horseshoe-shaped polyester knit overlaid on its visceral side with an absorbable collagen film. The macroporous textile encourages rapid tissue ingrowth and conformity to the hiatus, while the smooth collagen barrier helps limit adhesions to the oesophagus and surrounding viscera - providing surgeons a low-profile option for laparoscopic or open repair of hiatal hernias and GERD-related defects.

• GMDN Term Code: 44756
• GMDN Term Name: Extra-gynaecological surgical mesh, composite-polymer
• GMDN Term Definition: A partially-bioabsorbable, implantable material (e.g., flat sheet) made of two or more polymers that includes a bioabsorbable polymer [e.g., polyglycolic acid (PGA)] and a non-bioabsorbable polymer [e.g., polyethylene (PE)] intended for extra-gynaecological, non-dental tissue repair/reinforcement application(s) [e.g., pericardial reinforcement, plastic surgery, abdominal hernia repair]. It may also be intended as a short-term scaffold for tissue regeneration. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be supplied with the mesh.

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.
