TiLENE® Guard / Guard Set
Our titanised hernia meshes TiLENE® Guard are hydrophilic with excellent body compatibility providing better patient outcomes. TiLENE® Guard meshes are multi-layered and serve to prevent and treat parastomal hernias. They are suitable for laparoscopic and open repair procedures. The TiLENE® Guard Set also includes a patch to cover the stoma centrally using the sandwich technique. The pore size is 1 mm.
Benefits
Excellent mesh adaptation
The opening can be made larger or smaller, allowing excellent adaptation of the mesh to the diameter of the stoma.
Unique design: 360° coverage
Since the mesh is multi-layered, 360° coverage is achieved with adequate mesh overlap, even when the mesh opening is enlarged.
Less mesh shrinkage
The inflammatory response is minimised through titanisation. Consequently there is less scar formation, and therefore less mesh shrinkage.5,6,7 This is particularly important given the area of application of TiLENE® Guard.
Improved quality of life
Body-compatible properties of titanium transferred to a hernia mesh for a better quality of life for patients.1,2
Easy handling and excellent visibility
Imaging diagnostics are not affected

Knowledge
Titanisation of mesh implants
Titanium is one of the most biocompatible materials and the preferred alloy used in various surgical applications since 1946.3 In 2002, pfmmedical successfully developed the first procedure worldwide that permits the application of titanium to flexible and elastic primary materials, specifically polypropylene meshes.
TiLENE® Guard mesh implants are type 1a polypropylene meshes (macroporous, lightweight, and monofilamentous) which are hydrophilic due to titanisation. A hydrophilic mesh implant integrates better into surrounding tissue than a hydrophobic material.
Application Range
- Parastomal hernias
- Preventive use
