Unique three-dimensional polypropylene mesh for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
Fully contoured mesh designed to conform to the inguinal anatomy.
Sealed edge and medial orientation marker are designed to ensure an anatomically correct fit and less wrinkling than conventional flat mesh.
Eliminates need for fixation, which saves time and money.
Patients who received Bard 3DMax™ Mesh without fixation used significantly less narcotic analgesia in the immediate postoperative period than those in whom flat mesh was fixated.2

Indications
Bard 3DMax™ mesh is indicated to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists, e.g., for repair of hernia and chest wall defects.
Contraindications
Literature reports that there may be a possibility for adhesion formation when Bard 3DMax™ mesh is placed in direct contact with the bowel or viscera. Do not use Bard 3DMax™ mesh in infants and children, whereby future growth will be compromised by use of such material.
Warnings
The use of any permanent mesh or patch in a contaminated or infected wound could lead to fistula formation and/or extrusion of the prosthesis. If an infection develops, treat the infection aggressively. Consideration should be given regarding the need to remove the mesh. An unresolved infection may require removal of the device.
Precautions
Do not cut or reshape the Bard 3DMax™mesh as this may affect its effectiveness. If fixation is used, care should be taken to ensure that the mesh is adequately fixated to the abdominal wall. If necessary, additional fasteners and/or sutures should be used. If sutures are used to secure the mesh in place, nonabsorbable monofilament sutures are recommended.
Adverse Reactions
Possible complications include seromas, adhesions, hematomas, inflammation, extrusion, fistula formation and recurrence of the hernia or soft tissue defect.
Please consult package insert for more detailed safety information and instructions for use.
