Extra-gynaecological surgical metal mesh refers to non-absorbable, implantable metal sheets designed to reinforce or repair tissues outside the pelvic region. Clinically, these devices are used in reconstructive surgeries—such as chest wall or abdominal hernia repairs—and orthopaedic procedures like cranioplasty or bone reconstruction, providing structural support where tissue integrity is compromised.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They may be supplied with disposable accessories for implantation, and their use is governed by local medical device laws, often requiring professional surgical expertise for proper application.
