Date on file at C. R. Bard, Inc. Results may not correlate to performance in humans.

INDICATIONS

Ventralight™ ST Mesh is indicated for use in the reconstruction of soft tissue deficiencies, such as for the repair of hernias. Composix™ L/P Mesh is indicated for use in the reconstruction of soft tissue deficiencies, such as for the repair of hernias and chest wall defects. The Echo PS™ Positioning System is intended to be used to facilitate the delivery of soft tissue prostheses during laparoscopic hernia repair.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Literature reports there is a possibility for adhesion formation when the polypropylene is placed in direct contact with the bowel or viscera.

WARNINGS

Ventralight™ ST Mesh/Composix™ L/P Mesh is the only permanent implant component of the device. The inflation adapter and syringe are to be kept external to the patient and discarded after use. The Echo PS™ Positioning System (including the balloon, all connectors, and inflation tube) is to be removed from the patient and appropriately discarded as it is not part of the permanent implant.

The Echo PS™ Positioning System should not be used with any other hernia prosthesis aside from those with which it comes pre-attached/packaged.

PRECAUTIONS

Do not trim the mesh. This will affect the interface between the mesh and positioning system.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Possible complications include seroma, adhesions, hematomas, inflammation, extrusion, fistula formation, infection, allergic reaction, and recurrence of the hernia or soft tissue defect.
