Device inserted through tissue defect aperture; affixed to surrounding soft tissue via Anchor Bands; standard surgical sutures may also be used for fixation. Two platinum/iridium markers on monofilament fibers facilitate post-surgical identification. Used in operating room by surgeons for hernia repair and soft tissue reinforcement. Benefits include structural support for weakened tissue. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility and bench testing completed to support safety and effectiveness. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) mesh; platinum/iridium markers. Design: Expandable braided patch with integrated suture assemblies (Anchor Bands). Delivery: Preloaded on disposable instruments. Sterilization: Sterile. Connectivity: None. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Bard® Mesh PerFix® Plug ([K922916](/device/K922916.md)) - Ethicon Mersilene Polyester Fiber Mesh ([K851086](/device/K851086.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

and Number: | Surgical mesh, polymeric; 21CFR 878.3300 | | Product Code: | FTL | | Predicate Device(s): | The Inclose ™ Surgical Mesh System is substantially
equivalent to: | | | Bard® Mesh PerFix® Plug
(K922916 - Decision Date: 8/24/1992) | | | Ethicon Mersilene Polyester Fiber Mesh
(K851086 -- Decision Date: 5/21/1985) | | Device Description: | The Inclose ™ Surgical Mesh System is comprised of a
Mesh Implant and two suture assembles (Anchor Bands).
The implanted components are provided sterile and
preloaded on their respective disposable delivery
instruments. The Mesh Implant is an expandable braided
patch that is inserted through the aperture of the tissue
defect and affixed to surrounding soft tissue with the
Anchor Bands. Materials utilized in the construct of the | {1}------------------------------------------------ | | implanted components consist of polyethylene
terephthalate (PET). In addition, two platinum/iridium
markers are placed on monofilament fibers and positioned
toward the proximal end of the mesh. These two markers
are located 180° from each other and are intended to
facilitate identification of the Inclose™ Mesh Implant
following surgery. | |-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | Standard operating room sutures may also be utilized for
fixation of the device. | | Intended Use: | The mesh may be used to support soft tissue where
weakness exists, or for the repair of hernias requiring the
addition of a reinforcing, or bridging material, such as the
repair of groin hernias. | | Functional and
Safety Testing: | Biocompatibility and bench testing have been completed
and support the safety and effectiveness of the Inclose™
Surgical Mesh System. | | Conclusion: | The Inclose™ Surgical Mesh System is substantially
equivalent in intended use, scientific technology, materials
and design to predicate devices in interstate commerce. | . 2 ੀ ਦਿ 。 12 {2}------------------------------------------------ AUG 1 8 2005 Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 Mr. Tim Miller VP, Regulatory and Clinical Affairs Anulex Technologies, Inc. 5600 Rowland Road, Suite 280 Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343 Re: K050969 Trade/Device Name: Inclose™ Surgical Mesh System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.3300 Regulation Name: Surgical mesh Regulatory Class: II Product Code: FTL Dated: July 28, 2005 Received: July 29, 2005 Dear Mr. Miller: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA).
