TiO₂Mesh™ und TiO₂Mesh™ light – the titanised mesh implants
The large-pored TiO₂Mesh and TiO₂Mesh light mesh implants are used to reinforce the tissue during hernia surgery. In addition to the optimised surface, they meet all the requirements of modern hernia mesh. TiO₂Mesh meshes offer not only the typical material properties, such as lightweight character and large pores, but also a biocompatible titanium dioxide coating. This titanium oxide layer allows cells to attach to the mesh implant much more easily. In concrete terms, this means that TiO₂Mesh and TiO₂Mesh light heal better in the patient and foreign body reactions are largely avoided.
Our recipe for success: Lightweight mesh implants with a big impact
The modern TiO₂Mesh and TiO₂Mesh light hernia meshes consist of a large-pored polypropylene knitted fabric made of monofilament threads. The biocompatible titanium dioxide coating ensures a highly clean and adhesive surface of the mesh implants. Foreign body reactions can be minimised as far as possible thanks to the lightweight character, the large-pored structure, the reduced material surface and the laser-cut edges.
This was confirmed by studies with TiO₂Mesh compared to uncoated reference materials, which showed a significant increase in cell vitality and cell adhesion as a result of the biocompatible coating. The lightweight hernia meshes made of knitted polypropylene are available to users in various sizes and shapes. In addition to the standard sized meshes, additional mesh implants are available for special indications in modern hernia surgery.
TiO₂Mesh™ and TiO₂Mesh™ light – safe hernia meshes
The titanised TiO₂Mesh and TiO₂Mesh light hernia meshes can be used for tissue defects in the abdominal wall where a non-absorbable supportive material is required.
TiO₂Mesh mesh implants are biocompatible and can be used in all common open and laparoscopic surgical methods of inguinal and incisional hernia repair, such as
- the Lichtenstein technique
- transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP)
- total extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP)
- in all modern methods of ventral hernia repair, both laparoscopic and open (IPOM, sublay, onlay, Milos and e-Milos)
- in the treatment of hiatal hernias (Nissen or Toupet fundoplication)
Due to the high tensile strength of 55 N/cm or 50 N/cm (light), these meshes can be used optimally for both inguinal and ventral hernias.
Particularly in laparoscopic procedures, TiO2Mesh differs significantly from previous applications of mesh implants due to the improved handling properties.
The hydrophilic material surface of TiO2Mesh and the large-pored mesh structure lead to a self-adhesive effect, so that the need of fixations is widely reduced in different applications (TEP).

More InformationBiocompatible hernia meshes: the advantages of TiO₂Mesh™ at a glance
The TiO₂Mesh brand stands for state-of-the-art mesh implants that combine all the advantages in terms of biocompatibility and handling properties for performing modern hernia surgery:
- Optimum biocompatibility thanks to high-purity titanium dioxide coating
- Lightweight polypropylene knitted fabric with only 47 g/m²
- Pore size of 2.8 mm
- Laser-cut edges to prevent microtraumas
- Large-pored mesh structure and lightweight character, making the mesh implant imperceptible to the patient
- Biodynamic force-elongation behaviour with a retention force of up to 55 N/cm
- Self-fixing and optimised handling thanks to hydrophilic surface coating
- Use of staplers, sutures and adhesives can be reduced as far as possible for minimally invasive treatment, preferably of smaller inguinal hernias
- Blue marking strips for easier intraoperative orientation
- Optimum overview of the surgical field thanks to its high transparency
TiO₂Mesh™ light – ideal for all inguinal and ventral hernias
The biocompatible TiO₂Mesh light hernia mesh is the lighter version of TiO₂Mesh, which, like TiO₂Mesh, meets all the requirements of modern hernia surgery.
- Polypropylene knitted fabric with a basis weight of just 32 g/m²
- High tensile strength of 50 N/cm
- Ideal handling for laparoscopies (e.g. TAPP and TEP), IPOM and open techniques
- For the treatment of inguinal, umbilical and femoral hernias
- Suitable for all incisional hernias
Mesh implants with titanium oxide layer: simple application
Self inflating
The hernia mesh unfolds by itself during laparoscopic treatments.
Orientiation stripes
The blue orientation strips on the polypropylene mesh facilitate intraoperative mesh placement.
Large pores
The large-pored structure of the mesh implant guarantees the surgeon a good field of vision.
Self-fixating
The hydrophilic implant surface of the biocompatible titanization largely reduces the need for mesh fixation.
