Phasix™ Plug and Patch is a fully resorbable mesh providing the advantages of a clinically proven technique for a tension-free preperitoneal repair.1 Phasix™ material offers you and your patients an option for inguinal hernia repair that provides a strong durable repair without permanent foreign material.2
Phasix™ Mesh is constructed of monofilament Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate (P4HB).
Chronic pain is a serious complication that can occur after groin hernia repair which has been attributed to several mechanisms, including damage to sensory nerves and mesh inguinodynia.6,7 Phasix™ Plug and Patch provide the advantages of a clinically proven technique1 with a fully resorbable mesh to potentially further reduce the risk of chronic pain.

Indications for Use
The Phasix™ Plug and Patch is indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists, in procedures involving soft tissue repair, such as groin hernia defects.
Contraindications
Because Phasix™ Plug and Patch is fully resorbable, it should not be used in repairs where permanent wound or organ support from the mesh is required.
Warnings
Placement of Phasix™ Plug and Patch in direct contact with bowel or viscera is not recommended. The safety and product use for patients with hypersensitivities to tetracycline hydrochloride or kanamycin sulfate is unknown. Use of this device in patients with known allergies to these antibiotics should be avoided. The safety and effectiveness of Phasix™ Plug and Patch in pediatric use and use in pregnant women has not been established. If an infection develops, treat the infection aggressively. An unresolved infection may require removal of the device.
Adverse Reactions
Possible complications include infection, seroma, pain, mesh migration, wound dehiscence, hemorrhage, adhesions, hematoma, inflammation, extrusion and recurrence of the hernia or soft tissue defect.
