L-Mesh™ Composite Mesh is a laminate of knitted mesh and porous polymer film. Composite mesh fabrics are available with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film surface or a porous low density polyethylene (LDPE) film. The result is a flexible and resilient sheet with a mesh surface on one side and a smooth porous film on the other side.
The mesh side has the classic characteristics of promoting good tissue ingrowth and adhesion, while the smooth film surface has been found to discourage tissue ingrowth and adhesion. The expanded PTFE film has pores in the size range of about 0.3 microns and thickness of 75 microns, and the perforated LDPE film has pores that are about 300 microns and thickness of 25 microns.
Standard grades of composite mesh are available for fast delivery. We can also produce custom configurations quickly using any grade of polypropylene and polyester mesh fabrics. The dimensions of the sheets are 35cm long by 30cm wide
COMPOSITE MESH FABRICS CANNOT BE GAMMA IRRADIATED! USE ONLY AN APPROVED METHOD FOR STERILIZATION, SUCH AS ETHYLENE OXIDE (EtO) OR STEAM AUTOCLAVE.
COMPOSITE MESH FABRICS CONVERTED INTO FINISHED MEDICAL DEVICES MUST UNDERGO A FINAL CLEANING STEP THROUGH A CUSTOMER APPROVED PROCESS.
ISO-10993 Biocompatibility results are available to our customers upon request.
