The True Hybrid

Gore hernia product portfolio

We have continued to innovate to deliver high-quality alternatives to traditional hernia mesh with the goal of solving unmet physician and patient needs. Gore gives you the flexibility to move beyond conventional composites to a hybrid solution with GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial.

Timeline by year
Hybrid meshes have both a permanent mesh and a bioabsorbable (biologic or biosynthetic) tissue scaffold material.

Designed for Intraperitoneal and Preperitoneal Placement

GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial has a unique combination of a macroporous knit of dense, monofilament permanent polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers embedded between 2 bioabsorbable poly(glycolide:trimethylene carbonate) copolymer (PGA:TMC) layers. The GORE 3D PGA:TMC Web Scaffold is designed to minimize visceral attachment and delivers rapid* tissue ingrowth and vascularization to the material providing a single-stage, durable repair in complex cases.

Facilitates Healing*

The bioabsorbable GORE 3D PGA:TMC Web Scaffold is designed to facilitate tissue integration and promote rapid vascularity and ingrowth. Demonstrated vascularity reported within 7 days and tissue ingrowth within 30 days.

Move beyond conventional composites to the true hybrid solution.

Enables Single-Stage Repair*

Unique combination of proven technologies promotes quality tissue generation and lasting strength for challenging repairs.

  • Lightweight profile
  • Permanent strength

Minimizes Need for Removal*

The PTFE fiber design along with increased vascularity may aid in the treatability of the device to mitigate the need for removal if postoperative infection were to occur.*, 1

Supports Rapid Vascularization*

Our bioabsorbable web scaffold is designed to support the rapid development of quality tissue without the risks associated with biologics.2 The web component of GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial is designed to break down primarily by hydrolysis, and provides uniformity and consistency.

Within 1 to 2 weeks, the patient’s own cells migrate into the scaffold and begin generating vascularized soft tissue.

Today’s high-risk patients need more from you. Give them more with GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial.
