Silicone-Polymer Composite Mesh
Silene is a sterile, non-absorbable dual-sided composite mesh with a polymer matrix parietal side and medical-grade silicone on the visceral side, designed for open and laparoscopic intraperitoneal hernia repair.
Silene, feature by feature.
Dual-sided meshes: a parietal side for tissue integration and a barrier film on the visceral side.
Dual-sided composite construction
Composed of one layer of polymer matrix for the parietal side and one layer of medical-grade silicone for the visceral side, fused into a single composite mesh with two functionally distinct surfaces.
Silicone barrier on the visceral side
The non-adherent silicone layer is intended to act as a barrier on the visceral side and to minimise tissue attachment to the prosthesis.
Polymer matrix on the parietal side
The polymer matrix surface is intended to encourage tissue ingrowth and fixation on the parietal side of the mesh.
Micropores for seroma drainage
The mesh contains drainage holes that are intended to allow drainage of seroma.
Translucent and low profile
The translucent silicone barrier allows visualisation of the underlying tissues, and the low-profile design is intended to support laparoscopic deployment.
Non-absorbable sterile prosthesis
A non-absorbable, sterile prosthesis supplied for single use in a range of shapes and sizes for open and laparoscopic hernia repair.
Why surgeons choose Silene
Performance and ‘first’ statements are from Futura Surgicare product literature. Always refer to the Instructions for Use supplied with the product.
- First Indian manufacturer to launch a 3D mesh for hernia repair.
- High bursting strength, providing 5–10× the support required by the abdominal wall during extreme physical activity.
- Safe implantation with minimal risk of recurrence.
- Highly biocompatible, inert material exhibiting the lowest foreign body reaction.
- Fast tissue integration — complete vascularised incorporation at 12 days.
- Thermally interlaced 3D fibre structure prevents scar plate formation.
- Silicone layer provides a permanent adhesion barrier and prevents mesh shrinkage.
- Excellent multidirectional mechanical properties and resistance to tearing; maintains its original shape and composition.
What Silene Mesh Is
Silene is a sterile, non-absorbable composite mesh designed for intraperitoneal hernia repair. The dual-sided prosthesis fuses two functionally distinct surfaces into a single composite: a polymer matrix intended to support tissue integration on one side and a medical-grade silicone layer intended to act as a barrier on the visceral side. It is used for the reconstruction of soft-tissue deficiencies and is intended for use by a qualified surgeon trained in mesh implantation and the relevant surgical techniques.
Composition and Construction
Silene is composed of one layer of polymer matrix for the parietal side and one layer of medical-grade silicone for the visceral side. The polymer matrix is formed of thermally interlaced polymer fibres, and the two functional layers are fused into a single composite mesh. The polymer surface is intended to encourage tissue ingrowth and colonisation on the parietal side, while the non-adherent silicone is intended to act as a barrier and to minimise tissue attachment on the visceral side. The mesh also contains drainage holes intended to allow seroma drainage.
Characteristics and Handling
The translucent silicone barrier allows visualisation of the underlying tissues and vessels, and the low-profile design is intended to support laparoscopic deployment. The mesh can be trimmed and shaped to suit the repair. Proper orientation is essential: the silicone surface is placed against the bowel or other visceral structures, and the polymer matrix surface faces the tissue plane where ingrowth is intended. Silene is compatible with usual fixation devices, including sutures, helicoidal fixation and tacking devices. Selection of size, orientation and fixation method is at the discretion of the surgeon, based on the patient’s condition, the type and location of the defect, and operative requirements.
Applications
Silene is designed for use in:
- Laparoscopic / minimally invasive ventral hernia repair
- Incisional hernia repair
- Umbilical hernia (for visceral contact)
