Prospective Study (SYN 20-01) in Progress7

Assessment of GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial in focused Patient Populations and Long-Term Application

  • Sponsor: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.
  • Brief summary: The SYN 20-01 Study is a non-interventional, prospective, multicenter, multicohort, international post-market clinical investigation looking into the assessment of GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial in focused patient populations and in long-term application. Patients with ventral/incisional hernia amenable to hernia mesh repair will be enrolled into 2 cohorts (U.S. and EU) and followed-up over the period of 60 months.
  • Conditions: Hernia ventral, Hernia incisional, Hernia incisional ventral.
  • Enrollment: 320 anticipated.
  • 2 groups/cohorts.
