The Strap Technique

The Freedom Octomesh implant is designed to be used in open ventral hernia repair. It is placed as a sublay mesh. It can be placed above the peritoneum or above the retrorectus fascia. The eight anchoring straps of the Freedom Octomesh implant are used to stabilize the body of the implant by friction within the abdominal wall while the tissue integrates into the mesh body. A special strap passer is used to tunnel the anchoring straps.

The Freedom Octomesh is placed above the peritoneum. The eight anchoring straps are positioned radially and pulled through the abdominal wall muscles.

The Freedom Octomesh anchoring straps are pulled through the layers of the abdominal wall to hold the body of the mesh in place during the phase of tissue ingrowth.

Simplified, broad coverage. Placement made easy and secure.
