Bard 3DMax Mesh is a unique three-dimensional polypropylene mesh designed for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It is indicated to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists, such as for the repair of hernias and chest wall defects. The mesh is anatomically designed to conform to the inguinal anatomy, making it easy to position with a sealed edge and medial orientation marker for an anatomically correct fit with less wrinkling than conventional flat mesh.

One of the key benefits of the Bard 3DMax Mesh is that it eliminates the need for fixation, saving time and money during the repair process. It also reduces patient pain, as patients who received Bard 3DMax Mesh without fixation used significantly less narcotic analgesia in the immediate postoperative period than those in whom flat mesh was fixated. The mesh is also compatible with various laparoscopic approaches including TAPP, TEP, and robotic TAPP.

The mesh comes in a left medium size, measuring 8.5cm to 13.7cm, and is made of knitted polypropylene pre-formed material. It is important to note that the mesh should not be cut or reshaped as this may affect its effectiveness, and if fixation is used, it is recommended to ensure that the mesh is adequately fixated to the abdominal wall. Possible complications include seromas, adhesions, hematomas, inflammation, extrusion, fistula formation, and recurrence of the hernia or soft tissue defect.

Healthcare professionals can refer to the instructions for use provided with the product for detailed safety information. Overall, the Bard 3DMax Mesh offers a reliable and advanced solution for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
