Ideal for repairing femoral hernias or recurrent inguinal hernias by open surgery, T®2 Plugs offer significant advantages: the rounded tip of the T2 Plug causes no blood vessel compression and adapts to all hernial defect dimensions; the tip is connected to the base along the perimeter and, as it is made of a more rigid material than the base, it is not subject to shrinkage as a result of fibroblast action. the base reinforces the tissues surrounding the defect and, as it is sutured, helps to prevent recurrences deriving from plug migration.
