A surgical mesh comprising a photocurable adhesive coating for repairing tissue damage is disclosed After applying the surgical mesh to a patient, the photocurable adhesive is activated under a light source which provides enhanced fixation between the surgical mesh and the damaged tissue. The surgical mesh may be removed and repositioned without substantially losing its adhesive properties and is suitable for treatment of hernia.
With the expansion of robotic-assisted hernia repair, there is an increasing need for surgical meshes to be insertable via smaller-diameter trocars. Low-profile hernia meshes that maintain high-performance mechanical properties are obtained by calendering non-bioabsorbable or bioabsorbable textile sheets.

System and method of generating a model and simulating an effect on a surgical repair site
A method of generating a computer-based observable model of an implantable repair material secured to a patient is provided. The method includes processing data corresponding to a patient using a computing device including a processor and a memory storing a software application executable by the processor. The method also includes indicating an implantable repair material and a fixation for securing the implantable repair material to the patient and indicating a distribution of the fixation about the implantable repair material. The method also includes generating an observable model of the implantable repair material secured to the patient on a display operably associated with the computing device. The observable model depicts the indicated distribution of the fixation about the implantable repair material.
