Procedural Area: Hiatal Hernia Repair
Restore strength and function.
For complete and natural hiatal hernia repair, look no further than the Biodesign Hiatal Hernia Graft.
The graft is a scaffold that restores the crura's strength and function and is not prone to the erosion into the esophagus that synthetic mesh can cause. Following placement, Biodesign communicates with the tissue around it, signaling the body to restore itself.
When finished, it leaves behind healthy tissue that is strong enough to function normally.

Tips
- For tension-free repair, reapproximate the crura before placing the graft.
- The wider side of the graft should cover the crural defect.
- For best results, allow Biodesign to be in contact with as much tissue as possible by affixing the graft so that it lies flat with minimal wrinkles and folds.
- During placement, use the large hole to facilitate orientation.
