GORE 3D Bioabsorbable Technology for Ventral Hernia Repair

3D bioabsorbable technology is featured in both GORE® BIO-A® Tissue Reinforcement and GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial

Decide with Data

A 2022 study1 on GORE® BIO-A® Tissue Reinforcement found:

  • “…Absorbable synthetic mesh in clean wound ventral hernia repair resulted in favorable long-term recurrence rates”1
  • Complication rate was 0% at 12-24 months

See the study

Supporting statistic 1 is 0% complication rate 12-24 months.
Supporting statistic 2 is  Low 14% five-year recurrence rate, 18% at six years.
Supporting statistic 3 calls out the 6-year Kaplan-Meier recurrence analysis.

The device is replaced with native tissue within 6 to 7 months.

Detailed data for recurrence rate, mean time to recurrence, surgical site infections and post-procedural intervention required to show that surgical site infection does not equal hernia recurrence.
