TAKE THE QUIZ STRATTICE TM 101 GET TO KNOW STRATTICE TM BIOLOGIC MESH STRATTICE TM is a 100% biologic mesh for hernia repair. STRATTICE TM is a mesh made from animal tissue. It is a biologic, designed to integrate into, or become part of, the body’s tissue. ∗ ∗ Integration into the body’s tissue was seen in animal studies using STRATTICE TM and the relevance to humans has not been established. A WELL-KNOWN MESH STRATTICE TM has been used for over 10 years in hernia repair STRATTICE TM appears in more than 100 publications about hernia repair ∗ STRATTICE TM has been used in over 200,000 patients ∗ Publication searches performed on PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect ® in June 2020. These publications reflect use of STRATTICE TM in more than 2,000 patients. HOW IT WORKS STRATTICE TM BIOLOGIC MESH IS DIFFERENT FROM SYNTHETIC MESHES STRATTICE TM is a biologic mesh made from animal tissue that is designed to integrate into, or become part of, the body’s own tissue. ∗ There are other mesh options available: Permanent synthetic mesh stays in the body and can be made from different types of plastic Absorbable synthetic mesh, made from different types of plastic, are designed to fully or partially break down in the body over time ∗ Integration into the body’s tissue was seen in animal studies using STRATTICE TM and the relevance to humans has not been established. HOW THE BODY REACTS TO STRATTICE TM BIOLOGIC MESH In animal studies, the body reacted differently depending on the type of mesh material used. The body can have a negative reaction to the synthetic material in certain meshes. The negative reaction can lead to scar tissue Scar tissue is weak and can contribute to a hernia coming back STRATTICE TM is a 100% biologic mesh made from animal tissue that is designed to integrate into, or become part of, the body’s own tissue ∗ Because the body recognizes STRATTICE TM as part of the body, this helps reduce the risk of scar tissue ∗ Integration into the body’s tissue was seen in animal studies using STRATTICE TM and the relevance to humans has not been established.
