Intended Use

LTM-BPS Surgical Mesh is intended for use as a soft tissue patch to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for the surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes which require the use of reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical outcome. The implant is intended for reinforcement of soft tissues in plastic and reconstructive surgery. LTM-BPS is intended for single patient, one time use only.

Device Story

LTM-BPS Surgical Mesh is a sterile, processed porcine dermal matrix; used as a soft tissue patch for reinforcement or repair of damaged/ruptured soft tissue membranes. Device provides structural support in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Implanted by surgeons during surgical procedures. Benefits include reinforcement of weakened tissue to achieve desired surgical outcomes. Single-patient, one-time use.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including biocompatibility, viral inactivation, and biomechanical testing (strength and suture retention).

Technological Characteristics

Surgical mesh derived from porcine skin; processed porcine dermal matrix. Terminally sterilized. Provided in prescribed geometric configurations and thicknesses. Packaged in double pouch configuration.

Indications for Use

Indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists and surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes requiring reinforcing or bridging material in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.

#### Technological Characteristics

The LTM-BPS is a surgical mesh that is derived from porcine skin. The LTM-BPS device consists of a terminally sterilized sheet of the processed porcine dermal matrix provided in prescribed geometric configurations and thicknesses, and packaged in double pouch configuration.

#### Performance Data

The LTM-BPS has undergone extensive biocompatibility testing, animal testing, viral inactivation testing and biomechanical testing. The data indicate that the device is biocompatible and that the manufacturing process is capable of inactivating any viral components that may come with the starting material. The biomechanical data show that the LTM-BPS matrix possesses sufficient strength and suture retention for the intended use.

#### Substantial Equivalence

LTM-BPS is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, such as the LTM Surgical Mesh (K070560), PelviSoft™ (K031332) and Permacol® Implant (K013625) surgical mesh devices. LTM-BPS has the same intended uses and the same or similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as these predicate devices. Performance data demonstrate that LTM-BPS functions equivalently to the predicate devices. Thus, LTM-BPS is substantially equivalent.
