Extra-gynaecological surgical mesh made from bioabsorbable collagen is designed to reinforce or repair tissues outside the pelvic area, such as the pericardium, abdominal wall, or skin in plastic surgery. Its temporary structure helps guide tissue regeneration before gradually dissolving, offering a natural alternative to permanent implants.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring premarket approval or clearance depending on jurisdiction. They are usually supplied sterile and intended for single-use, with some kits including associated disposable tools for implantation.
