Bard Soft Mesh | 6" x 6" (15 cm x 15 cm) | Flat Sheet | 0117011

The Bard 0117011 Soft Mesh is a gold-standard prosthetic engineered for the permanent reinforcement of soft tissue during hernia repairs and fascial reconstructions. Developed by Davol (C.R. Bard / BD), this large-pore, monofilament polypropylene mesh represents a significant advancement over traditional heavyweight implants. It is designed to provide the high burst strength required for long-term repair while maintaining a reduced mass that encourages a more natural, flexible healing response.

The "soft" knit structure is specifically intended to minimize the "stiff-abdomen" sensation and chronic post-operative discomfort. Its transparent, large-pore design ensures that critical underlying structures—such as nerves and vessels—remain visible during fixation, enhancing surgical safety and precision.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: C.R. Bard (Davol / Becton Dickinson)

• Model / REF: 0117011

• Product Type: Bard Soft Mesh (Non-Absorbable)

• Material: Knitted Monofilament Polypropylene

• Dimensions: 6" x 6" (15 cm x 15 cm)

• Configuration: Flat Sheet (Trimmable to anatomical fit)

• Pore Size: Large-pore design for rapid fibroblastic response

• Quantity: 1 Each (Individually Packaged)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Tissue Ingrowth: The large-pore architecture allows for rapid integrated tissue ingrowth and 3D collagen deposition. This structural integration reduces the risk of seroma formation and mesh migration compared to dense, small-pore alternatives.

• Lightweight Flexibility: By reducing the amount of foreign material implanted, the Soft Mesh remains more compliant with the abdominal wall’s natural movement. This promotes a "tension-free" bridge that adapts to the patient's physical activity.

• Superior Visualization: The unique knit pattern acts as a clear window, allowing the surgeon to visualize anatomical landmarks through the mesh during placement. This is particularly advantageous in laparoscopic inguinal repairs (TEP/TAPP) where nerve and vessel identification is critical.

• High Burst Strength: Despite its lightweight feel, the monofilament construction provides a burst strength equivalent to heavyweight meshes, ensuring the long-term integrity of the fascial defect reinforcement.

• Trimmable Versatility: The 6" x 6" flat sheet can be easily customized with surgical scissors without fraying, allowing for a precise fit around the spermatic cord or irregular fascial defects.

Applications

• Inguinal Hernia Repair: Ideal for both open (Lichtenstein) and laparoscopic (TEP/TAPP) approaches.

• Ventral & Incisional Hernia: Providing a strong, biocompatible reinforcement for mid-sized abdominal wall defects.

• Umbilical Hernia Repair: Easily trimmed for small-to-medium primary umbilical reconstructions.

• Fascial Reconstruction: Use in any general surgical procedure requiring permanent soft-tissue support.
