The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and performance of the ECLIPSIUM device in securing mesh during ventral hernia repair. The study will evaluate whether ECLIPSIUM, a bioresorbable polymer-based fixation device, is effective in reducing the risk of hernia recurrence when compared with bioresorbable tacks. This information will support understanding of ECLIPSIUM's potential clinical benefits in ventral hernia repair.
A prospective, multi-center, randomized, active control, single-blind non- inferiority study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ECLIPSIUM® System versus bioresorbable tacks in mesh fixation in patients undergoing laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh ventral hernia repair procedures.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is 22 years old or older. 2. Patient is willing and able to provide a signed Patient Informed Consent Form. 3. Patient has a single midline primary ventral, umbilical, or incisional hernia; a.Hernia Size is 1 -5 cm in diameter (to be confirmed intraoperatively). 4. Patient is scheduled for a laparoscopic IPOM hernia repair. 5. Hernia can be successfully repaired with a single polyester or polypropylene composite mesh with biodegradable coating with at least a 5 cm overlap of the mesh on all sides of the defect (to be confirmed intraoperatively). 6. Female pa…
The ECLIPSIUM® System functions by applying a biodegradable, implantable polymer coating to the prosthetic material under guidance of a template to ensure appropriate application, followed by in situ photo-activation using the TISSIUM curing light to secure the mesh to the abdominal wall.
Resorbable tacks are surgical fasteners used to secure a hernia mesh in place. Resorbable tacks are designed to be absorbed by the body over time, gradually losing strength as the tissue ingrowth into the mesh occurs and takes over the support function.
