Tag: Bioresorbable mesh

More than one million Americans are implanted with surgical mesh annually [1.4.5]. DuraSorb® is a bioresorbable technology used both as a surgical mesh and as a platform for drug delivery, but it doesn't have a direct consumer price. So, how much does DuraSorb cost in the context of a medical procedure or medication?

Developed by scientists at MIT, Phasix mesh is a biocompatible and fully resorbable polymer used for soft tissue and hernia repair. It is engineered to provide immediate strength for the surgical site before gradually remodeling and dissolving into the patient's own tissue over 12 to 18 months.
