Extra-gynaecological surgical mesh made from composite polymers combines a bioabsorbable material with a permanent polymer to reinforce or repair tissues outside the gynaecological system. These devices are primarily used in procedures like pericardial reinforcement, plastic surgery, or abdominal hernia repair, where long-term structural support is needed.
Such meshes are typically regulated as implantable devices, often requiring pre-market approval or clearance depending on the jurisdiction. They may be supplied as standalone implants or as part of a disposable surgical kit, with classification varying by intended use and risk profile.
