Designed for performance in complex hernia repairs 

 

GORE® BIO-A® Tissue Reinforcement is a unique biosynthetic web scaffold made of 67% polyglycolic acid (PGA): 33% trimethylene carbonate (TMC) designed for soft tissue reinforcement procedures. 

 

  • Innovative material: Uniquely designed web of biocompatible synthetic polymers that is gradually absorbed by the body  
  • Alternative to biologics: As a biosynthetic tissue-building scaffold, it is not derived from human or animal tissue but engineered for uniformity, consistency and versatility
  • Consistent absorption: Absorbed within six to seven months, leaving no permanent material behind in the body1
  • Quality tissue fast: Facilitates rapid cellular infiltration and vascularization2
  • Easy to use: Provides the right combination of flexibility to get into the trocar but maintains its shape well to allow for ease of handling and placement in the abdominal cavity

The material is versatile and suitable for a variety of applications, including:

  • Paraesophageal / hiatal hernia repair
  • Abdominal wall reconstruction
  • Ventral / incision hernia repair
