GORE® DUALMESH® Biomaterial is the first dual-surface material that encourages host tissue ingrowth while minimizing tissue attachment in hernia, soft tissue and fascial reconstruction.*,1,2

GORE® DUALMESH® Biomaterial offers surgeons a variety of impressive advantages, including:

  • Dual-surface material: A textured CORDUROY® surface encourages host tissue incorporation, while the other surface is smooth to minimize tissue attachment.2
  • Versatile application: Conformable polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material trims to match the defect, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The biomaterial is designed with two functionally distinct surfaces. One side features a textured CORDUROY® surface to encourage host tissue incorporation, while the other surface is smooth to minimize tissue attachment.1,2 This product is conformable and trimmable, making it suitable for a variety of procedures from hernia, soft tissue repair and fascial reconstruction to congenital defects, temporary bridging TRAM flap procedures and chest wall reconstruction.
