Completely agree. I have seen this product come and go in the US market for so many years, as each company keeps handing it around like a hot potato. I even posted about it on Twitter in response to a Tweet (since deleted) that asked if anyone would consider using this mesh given all the raving about it by the Company. This was my response: https://twitter.com/Herniadoc/status/1324928701671243777?s=20&t=kjIGzCkd5843jBFuR6KEbg
I got a DM from the Company at the time, admonishing me for being unprofessional in my post. Oh well.
I stand by my statement, btw.
The ProFlor never caught on in the US (and the company went bankrupt). And that’s a good thing. If the plug is too bulky, this is even worse. And any claims that an implant will maintain its springiness after implantation is melarkey. pic.twitter.com/INrwdL5WfL
