Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of RECOVER is to evaluate the performance and safety of Transorb™ self-gripping resorbable mesh in high-risk subjects (at least one risk factor impairing wound healing) when used for reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissues in procedures involving open extraperitoneal ventral hernia repair, in clean (US); and clean and clean-contaminated (Europe) surgical fields (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Classification I and II. Data from this study will primarily be used to support market approval and European post-market clinical follow-up needs. Secondarily, data will be used for product marketing, future product development, and to support market release and maintenance in global geographies.


Description:

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the performance (hernia clinical recurrence rate) of Transorb™ mesh within 12 months post-operatively when the mesh is used for repair of open ventral hernia. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and performance of Transorb™ mesh when used for repair of open ventral hernia within 60 months post-operatively.

Multi-stage hernia repair 4. Parastomal hernia repair 5. Concomitant ostomy (creation or closure) 6. Any other additional anticipated surgery, if subsequent surgery that would jeopardize previous application of study device, in the opinion of the investigator Pre-Operative Exclusion Criteria assessed/confirmed on day of surgery: 10. Subject is American Society of Anesthesiology Class 4, 5, or 6 11. Subject has a BMI greater than or equal 40.0 kg/m2 12. Subject is pregnant or is planning pregnancy within the 60-month follow-up period (females of childbearing potential will be required to provide either a urine or serum pregnancy test, except for subjects who are surgically sterile, or are at least 2 years post-menopausal) Intraoperative Exclusion Criteria Assessed by investigator following reduction of hernia and preparation of the retrorectus/ retromuscular space for mesh placement: 1. Subject has existing mesh from previous ventral hernia surgery that investigator was unable to completely remove 2. Subject has concomitant diastasis (>2 cm) that was not repaired 3. Hernia defect that will require a multi-stage repair 4. Subject no longer meets Inclusion Criteria 4 5. Subject who will require more than a single piece of Transorb™ or any other additional mesh 6. Subject with anticipated inability to achieve both: 1. Midline anterior and posterior rectus fascia closure without excessive tension, and 2. Skin closure 7. Subject who is otherwise no longer eligible to receive Transorb™ in open retrorectus/retromuscular position with or without Transversus Abdominis Release (TAR).
