Product Description

The Modified Kugel patch repair is a minimally invasive, tension-free technique that can be completed through a small 4-6 cm incision and requires minimal suturing. It is a preperitoneal repair performed through an open, anterior approach that can be completed using local or regional anesthesia. The Modified Kugel patch is a self-expanding polypropylene patch that allows for sufficient overlap of the hernia defect. Tissue ingrowth into the polypropylene mesh and deep placement of the patch allow for a strong repair. Once the patch is placed, a "memory recoil" ring helps ensure that the patch will spring open and maintain its shape, helping to ensure the mesh lays flat in the preperitoneal space. The entire groin region, including the direct, indirect and femoral space, is typically protected; therefore, the optional onlay patch packaged with each Modified Kugel patch may not be required, reducing the amount of foreign material introduced.
