Three-dimensional, anatomically-formed mesh for use in laparoscopic hernia repair. |
|
The Bard 3DMax mesh is a three-dimensional, anatomically formed prosthesis for use in laparoscopic hernia repair. The Bard 3DMax mesh has been designed based on careful and precise anatomical research of the inguinal canal. The result is a truly unique prosthesis for laparoscopic hernia surgery. |

The Bard 3DMax product is constructed of Bard mesh, knitted polypropylene monofilament. The knit construction allows the mesh to be stretched in both directions in order to accommodate and reinforce tissue defects. The use of Bard mesh allows a prompt fibroblastic response through the interstices of the mesh, forming a strong fibrous wall. |

| The Bard 3DMax mesh was developed by Dr. Philippe Pajotin, a prominent laparoscopic surgeon. After years of performing a transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair, Dr. Pajotin came to the realization that a flat sheet of mesh may not be the ideal configuration for a laparoscopic repair. After all, the inguinal anatomy was anything but the two-dimensional image seen on the monitor. So, after careful cadaver research and molding, Dr. Pajotin developed what he believed to be the ideal prosthetic--one that was anatomically formed and shaped to the inguinal anatomy. |

| The Bard 3DMax mesh offers significant advantages over current laparoscopic mesh alternatives |
|
• Anatomically formed
The Bard 3DMax mesh is perfectly suited to the inguinal anatomy based on cadaver research and molding. It is a three - dimensional, anatomically shaped mesh for use in laparoscopic hernia repair. |
|
• Comes in left & right orientations
Due to its precise anatomical form, the Bard 3DMax mesh is offered in a left and right orientation. This allows for precise and specific mesh positioning for any inguinal hernia. |
|
• Reinforced edge
A reinforced edge helps to maintain the curved, three - dimensional shape of the Bard 3DMax mesh. Additionally, this edge allows for easier mesh positioning and overall fixation. |
