TephaFLEX® Surgical Film is intended to be used wherever temporary wound support is required, to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists in the urological, gynecological, or gastrointestinal anatomy, or for the repair of hernia or other fascial defects that require the addition of a reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical result. The absorbable protective film also may help minimize the potential for tissue attachment to the device in case of direct contact with the viscera.
NOTE: The TephaFLEX Surgical Film is not intended to be placed transvaginally. The film should be placed abdominally when being used to reinforce soft tissues in the urological, gynecological or gastrointestinal anatomy.
