TELA Bio, Inc., a commercial-stage medical technology company, has announced promising scientific research results for its OviTex Inguinal Reinforced Tissue Matrix. The product, specifically engineered for laparoscopic and robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair, has been launched in the European market following its successful introduction in the U.S., where it achieved over $1 million in sales in its first year. A retrospective study led by Dr. Paul Szotek from the Indiana Hernia Center examined the OviTex Core Permanent using the Reinforced Biologic Augmented Repair (ReBAR) technique in 259 patients. The study demonstrated a low 1.2% recurrence rate with an average follow-up of 1.5 years, highlighting the product's clinical efficacy. OviTex Inguinal is available in Europe in two configurations, designed for compatibility with laparoscopic and robotic procedures, and offers a naturally derived alternative to synthetic mesh for hernia repair.
