Atlas's Polypropylene Mesh is constructed of knitted extruded polypropylene, identical in composition. The polypropylene filament undergoes a knitting process that interlinks each junction of the fibre. Special laser cutting ensures the mesh can be shaped to any desired size or form. The mesh's bi-directional elastic property allows it to adapt to various stresses encountered in the body. It is available in various thicknesses, dimensions, knitting patterns, shapes, pore sizes, and pre-cut sizes. Our products are tested to have excellent burst strength and can be customized to meet specific customer requirements. The mesh is designed to be smooth, strong, thin, and flexible, suitable for both tension-free and laparoscopic tension-free hernia repairs, providing essential support for weak tissues.
