The TECT1612AR Parietex hydrophilic anatomical mesh is engineered specifically for surgeons performing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair on the right side. Its anatomical design reduces unnecessary excess material and conforms more naturally to the inguinal region’s geometry, helping to improve coverage of the hernia defect while minimizing folding, wrinkles, or bunching. The hydrophilic nature of the mesh encourages better tissue wetting and adaptation during implantation, which can help in handling, placement, and anchoring within the body.

Material‑wise, this mesh combines two different textile structures: a 2D weave and a 3D weave. The 2D portion contributes to rigidity and ease of positioning (important when working through laparoscopic trocars), while the 3D portion adds softness and compliance—especially over delicate anatomical structures like nerves and vessels. This composite structure aims to strike a balance: enough stiffness to maintain shape and placement, yet enough flexibility and low profile to reduce patient discomfort and foreign body sensation. The macroporous polyester material supports tissue in‑growth, allowing for integration of the patient’s tissue with the implant, which is central to long‑term hernia repair success.

Clinically, the TECT1612AR offers advantages in right‑side inguinal hernia cases: the size (16 × 12 cm) gives broad coverage, which may reduce recurrence by covering defects and potential weak zones around the inguinal canal. The anatomical shaping means fewer adjustments during surgery, possibly reducing operative time and decreasing the risk of misplacement. On the other hand, as with all non‐absorbable synthetic meshes, the body will permanently host this implant, so factors such as fixation method, risk of irritation, infection potential, and long‑term comfort must be considered. Proper surgical technique, mesh handling, and patient selection remain critical to optimal outcomes.
