With a consistent stream of innovative products and surgical solutions, Davol Inc., a subsidiary of C. R. Bard, Inc., continues to increase its leadership position in the hernia repair market.

The new MODIFIED KUGEL patch repair is a minimally invasive, tension-free hernia repair technique that can be completed through a small 4-6 cm incision. Minimal suturing is required which can result in less patient discomfort and minimize the risk of pain due to nerve damage. Since this repair can be performed using local or regional anesthesia, general anesthesia and its associated risks can be avoided.

The MODIFIED KUGEL patch repair is performed through an open, anterior approach, making it a simple repair for the majority of surgeons to learn and to perform. The MODIFIED KUGEL patch repair provides the same benefits as a laparoscopic hernia repair in that the entire groin region is protected by the patch, thus reducing the risk of a recurrent or missed hernia.

Additionally, a key advantage of the MODIFIED KUGEL patch versus competitive products is its patented "memory recoil" ring that allows the patch to spring open and maintain its shape. A positioning strap and pocket also facilitate positioning and fixation of the device for a stable permanent repair.
