What is it indicated for?

The PCO-OS and PCO-OB meshes are used for the reinforcement of tissues during surgical repair. They are indicated for the treatment of incisional hernias, abdominal wall repair, and parietal (i.e. pertaining to the walls) reinforcement of tissues. The non-resorbable polyester mesh provides long-term reinforcement of soft tissues. On the opposite side, the resorbable hydrophilic film minimizes tissue attachment to the mesh in case of direct contact with the viscera.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
