In Brief

A clinical study evaluating PROLENE Polypropylene Tacking Mesh and ProGrip Self-fixating Mesh for Hernia, Inguinal. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Investigators are testing whether tacking mesh or self-fixating mesh used for inguinal hernia repair makes any difference in short-term pain or return to normal activities following the operation. Other studies have shown no significant difference in hernia recurrence rate when metal tacks are not used to hold the mesh in place.
