TiMESH
Our titanised hernia meshes TiMESH are hydrophilic with excellent body compatibility providing better patient outcomes. TiMESH is indicated for use in hernia surgery for all types of hernias and surgical techniques including IPOM.
Benefits
Improved quality of life
Body-compatible properties of titanium transferred to a hernia mesh for a better quality of life for the patients.1,2
Standardisation
TiMESH is suitable for all intra- and extraperitoneal hernias and surgical techniques including IPOM. Only a few mesh variants suffice to cover all needs of hernia surgery.
Time and cost savings
The hydrophilic surface of TiMESH facilitates easy handling during laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, certain indications do not require fixation.3,4 Consequently, the entire procedure becomes more time and cost efficient.
Different weights according to need
TiMESH is available in a variety of weights. TiMESH extralight (16 g/m²) is ideally suited to the treatment of inguinal hernias. The mesh weight of TiMESH light (35 g/m²) allows it to be applied universally to all types of hernias using any surgical technique. TiMESH strong (65 g/m²) can be selected as required for more pronounced hernia defects.
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 1946.5 In 2002, pfmmedical successfully developed the first procedure worldwide that permits the application of titanium to flexible and elastic primary materials, specifically polypropylene meshes.
TiMESH 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
Suitable for all hernia types including IPOM.
