Three-dimensional T®3 Plugs with a rectangular base are ideal for the repair of recurrent inguinal hernias in cases of significant destruction or weakness of the rear wall. Available in five different formats, with a soft or semi-rigid base, medium or large sized tip.
Advantages:
- the rounded tip of the T3 Plug causes no blood vessel compression and adapts to all hernial defect dimensions;
- the tip is connected to the base along the perimeter and, as it is made of a more rigid material than the base, it is not subject to shrinkage as a result of fibroblast action.
- the base reinforces the tissues surrounding the defect and, as it is sutured, helps to prevent recurrences deriving from plug migration.
- The larger base can be modelled by the surgeon to adapt to the area to be reinforced.
