A surgical mesh comprising a first region having a first elasticity and at least one second region having second elasticity, the surgical mesh connectable to tissue by means of at least one suture. For each suture linking a portion of the surgical mesh to tissue, the region with the first elasticity and the at least one region with the second elasticity are configured to move in situ with the tissue such that the portion of the surgical mesh connected to a suture moves no more than 1 mm in relation to the tissue connected to the same suture.

Described herein are hydrogel-coated surgical meshes and their use in hernia repair, reconstructive surgery, and other surgical procedures. In one aspect, the hydrogel-coated meshes comprise at least one antibiotic or antimicrobial agent for the treatment of hernia repair surgery. In one aspect, the hydrogel coated meshes provide localized, sustained antimicrobial activity for the treatment of surgical site infections. In one aspect, the hydrogel coated meshes provide localized, sustained prophylactic antimicrobial activity for the prevention of surgical site infections. In another aspect, the hydrogel coating may optionally include one or more additional therapeutic components, such as anti-inflammatory compounds or growth factors, to facilitate and enhance recovery following hernia repair, reconstructive procedures, or other surgeries.

Surgical mesh material, especially for use in hernia surgery, comprising biological tendon tissue and manufacturing processes therefor, and the use of a mesh graft device.

Suturing materials for producing medical devices are provided. The suture material may include natural fibers, and may be suitable for use in the manufacture of multifilament sutures and surgical meshes containing multifilament sutures, as examples of medical devices. The multifilament suture may include a plurality of filaments combined together in a twist pattern, and at least one of the plurality of filaments may include natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or mineral-based fibers. The suture device may include a multifilament suture in combination with a suture needle. The multifilament suture may be coated with a biocompatible coating (e.g., a bioactive agent) and / or include a first set of filaments including natural fibers and a second set of filaments including, for example, natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or mineral-based fibers different from the natural fibers in the first set of filaments.

A skin closure system includes a surgical mesh, a topical skin adhesive, and a strap fixable relative to the surgical mesh. The surgical mesh includes an upper side and an underside, wherein the underside is attachable to a section of the patient's skin surrounding a wound. The topical skin adhesive may be applied to the upper side of the surgical mesh and cured within the surgical mesh to form a protective layer over the wound. The strip has an elongate body impregnated with an active pharmaceutical ingredient. The strip extends longitudinally along a central portion of the underside of the elongate mesh and may diffuse the integrated active pharmaceutical ingredient toward the wound after the protective layer is formed over the wound.

A surgical mesh comprising a photocurable adhesive coating for repairing tissue damage is disclosed After applying the surgical mesh to a patient, the photocurable adhesive is activated under a light source which provides enhanced fixation between the surgical mesh and the damaged tissue. The surgical mesh may be removed and repositioned without substantially losing its adhesive properties and is suitable for treatment of hernia.

With the expansion of robotic-assisted hernia repair, there is an increasing need for surgical meshes to be insertable via smaller-diameter trocars. Low-profile hernia meshes that maintain high-performance mechanical properties are obtained by calendering non-bioabsorbable or bioabsorbable textile sheets.

A coated surgical mesh, the coated surgical mesh comprising: a surgical mesh, the surgical mesh comprising a first surface and a second surface; and a tissue ingrowth-preventing coating applied to the second surface of the surgical mesh; wherein the tissue ingrowth-preventing coating penetrates a controllable amount part way through the surgical mesh.

A system includes a surgical mesh having an upper side and a lower side, where the upper side includes a visual indicia pattern that extends longitudinally along the upper side, and the lower side is configured to adhere to a section of skin of a patient that surrounds a wound. The system further includes a topical skin adhesive configured to be applied to the upper side of the surgical mesh based on the visual indicia pattern. The topical skin adhesive is configured to cure within the surgical mesh to thereby form a protective layer over the wound.

A system for pre-operative decision support includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store a minimum threshold shear modulus or shear modulus range for abdominal tissue of a patient. The processor is configured to execute one or more programs to perform a plurality of operations. These operations include receiving at least one shear modulus measurement acquired by shear wave elastography (SWE) that is representative of a shear modulus of abdominal tissue of a patient within a predetermined distance of a planned abdominal incision, comparing the at least one shear modulus measurement with the minimum threshold shear modulus or shear modulus range, and outputting a recommendation regarding use of a surgical mesh following a laparotomy based upon the comparison.

The presently disclosed composition and methods are provided for a hydrogel or nanofiber-hydrogel composite integrated with a surgical scaffold or mesh. A surgical scaffold device comprised of laminar composite is disclosed for the purpose of reducing foreign body response, managing tissue-materials interface, and improving the integration of the surgical mesh with the surrounding tissue of a subject.
