Bard® Ventralex™ Hernia Patch
Designed for Umbilical and Epigastric Hernia Repair.

The Bard Ventralex hernia patch allows for sufficient overlap beyond the hernia defect without having to perform lateral dissection to develop a preperitoneal pocket.

Post-op pain should be reduced because the Ventralex hernia patch requires minimal dissection and minimal sutures to secure the prosthesis.

Benefits of Ventralex Hernia Patch

  • Designed for an intra-abdominal or retro muscular approach.
  • Recoil ring allows mesh to lie flat and to “spring” into place.
  • Polypropylene stimulates tissue ingrowth.
  • ePTFE barrier minimizes adhesions to the prosthesis.
  • Allows for sufficient overlap beyond most defects (4 cm or less).
  • Positioning pocket facilitates placement.
  • Positioning strap simplifies placement, positioning and suturing.


Basic Steps To The Repair:

  • Small incision over the hernia.
  • Dissect out and divide the hernia sac.
  • Reduce contents of the hernia sac and ligate the sac.
  • Insert Bard Ventralex hernia patch into the defect.
  • Pull up on the positioning strap to flatten the Bard Ventralex against the abdominal wall.
  • Sweep around the Bard Ventralex to make sure that it is lying flat.
  • Pull positioning straps apart and insert finger into the positioning pocket.
  • Suture the positioning strap to the margins of the defect.
  • Cut off excess positioning strap and close wound.
