Bio mesh
I was wondering I have read on the forum that bio meshes are considered ineffective: is this true no matter the mesh type and or hernia type?patient characteristics?
Looking at this article
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1553350617697849It seems they can play a role!and they might cause less inflammation which for an urticaria problem might be the right solution?

I think that any “mesh-like” product that is used in the body is known as a biological mesh. Shortened to “biomesh”.
There was a professional paper recently about agreeing upon common definitions for words and terms used in hernia repair. It turns out that certain words mean different things to different surgeons so they were having difficulty understanding what their colleagues were talking about.
That site that you found seems to be for “generic” hernia repair mesh. That’s the state of the situation, it’s moving to generics for cost-savings. It looks like the generic has just copied the four big mesh types, with poor translations of other companies literature.
“Free of strange particles, it recovers its initial shape after manipulation. It can be of rounded or straight edges”

Looks like they are based in Peru.

Am I reading correctly that they called a polypropylene mesh “BioMesh”?

The Onstep mesh procedure uses polypropylene mesh, Onflex, from Bard, now BD. I was just pointing out that Andresen seems to be an inventor, with a mesh procedure and product behind him already. The Onflex product from BD has already been modified to correct an error in its design. Modified Onflex. Andresen introduced the new product. So, that’s who the authors of that article are. It’s just good to know.
I wonder why they are getting in to the “biomesh” world. Eventually he/they will need to show why biomesh is better than synthetic mesh, if they develop a biomesh product. Like Tela Bio is doing. Or try to differentiate the markets for biomesh from the markets for Onflex.
It’s an interesting problem, and from a scientific perspective, it’s the right way to do things. Separate and define. It will be difficult though when even the experts talk about all of the different mesh products as one single “mesh”.

You mean in this technique the mesh is a bio one which is absorbed in eg 6 months?

Andresen and Rosenberg are the inventors of the “Onstep” method that uses Bard Onflex mesh, I believe.
