FDA has cleared a W. L. Gore 510(k) for its Gore Synecor Preperitoneal Biomaterial hernia repair device, which offers treatment options for the full range of hernia cases, with configurations for both intraperitoneal and preperitoneal placement. The company says the device’s placement between tissue layers “makes tissue ingrowth especially desirable.” It is intended for single-stage preperitoneal, onlay, and retromuscular placements through open, laparoscopic, and robotic applications. Gore says the device is made of three layers: a macroporous knit of dense, monofilament polytetrafluoroethylene fibers that provide strength for a durable single-stage repair and minimizes harboring of bacteria, while two surrounding layers of Gore Bio-A Web, a bioabsorbable copolymer scaffold, help tissue ingrowth and vascularization on both sides of the device.
