Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, interventional, observational, open label, single arm, longitudinal evaluation of ventral incisional hernia repair using LTM in contaminated or infected sites. Three interim analyses are planned to examine the incidence of surgical site events, postoperative resumption of activities and hernia recurrence.

Exclusion Criteria

  • has a nidus of chronic colonization
  • has a systemic infection at the time of repair.
  • has chronic conditions: hepatic cirrhosis (w/ or w/o ascites); renal failure w/ hemo- or peritoneal dialysis; incomplete resection of malignant disease; or defined collagen disorder.
  • requires chronic immunosuppressive therapy, including steroids or cytotoxic agents.
  • is bedridden or otherwise non-ambulatory.
