Read the full statement (139 words)
Tornier® Surgical Mesh is intended for use where temporary wound support is required to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists 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.
Tornier® Surgical Mesh is also intended for reinforcement of soft tissues, in conjunction with sutures and/or suture anchors during tendon repair surgery; including the reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps and quadriceps tendons.
Tornier® Surgical Mesh is not intended for use as a replacement for normal body structures or to provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, or quadriceps tendons. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the tendon repair.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
