Medtronic has established itself as the worldwide market leader in hernia repair, developing new products that continue to improve the quality of care, while lowering the cost of care.

We have a history of innovation in hernia repair with products meeting the unique needs of both open and laparoscopic techniques and procedures from inguinal to ventral. Recent innovations include ReliaTack™ articulating reloadable fixation device, Symbotex™ composite mesh, ProGrip™ laparoscopic self-fixating mesh, Spacemaker™ Pro access and dissection system, and the Parietex™ composite ventral patch. We recently sold our one millionth piece of Parietex™ composite mesh, the procedural standard with more than 15 years of documented clinical and pre-clinical effectiveness. These products are expanding the frontiers of what’s possible in hernia repair.
