Ethicon PROCEED - Surgical Mesh

PROCEED™ Surgical Mesh

PROCEED™ Surgical Mesh is a tissue-separating composite mesh designed for ventral and incisional hernia repair, providing durable abdominal wall reinforcement while helping reduce tissue adhesion to underlying organs.

Developed by Ethicon, PROCEED™ mesh combines polypropylene mesh strength with absorbable barrier technology, creating a surgical implant designed for both open and laparoscopic intraperitoneal hernia repair procedures.

The mesh features a multi-layer composite structure, including a polypropylene mesh layer for tissue ingrowth and an oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC) barrier that separates the mesh from viscera during the healing period to minimise tissue attachment.

PROCEED™ Surgical Mesh has been used by surgeons worldwide for over a decade and is designed to provide strength, flexibility and reliable tissue integration in abdominal wall reconstruction procedures.

Key Features of PROCEED™ Surgical Mesh

• Composite tissue-separating surgical mesh
• Polypropylene mesh layer for long-term reinforcement
• Absorbable ORC barrier designed to reduce adhesion formation
• Flexible laminate construction for easier surgical placement
• Designed for intraperitoneal mesh repair (IPOM) techniques
• Suitable for both open and laparoscopic hernia repair

The absorbable barrier helps physically separate the mesh from internal organs during early healing, while the polypropylene mesh promotes tissue integration for durable abdominal wall support.

Surgical Applications

PROCEED™ Surgical Mesh is commonly used in a range of abdominal wall repair procedures including:

• Ventral hernia repair
• Incisional hernia repair
• Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) procedures
• Open abdominal wall reconstruction
• Complex abdominal wall defect repair

Composite meshes such as PROCEED™ are designed to provide strong abdominal wall reinforcement while minimising complications associated with adhesions, making them suitable for intraperitoneal placement.
