## Indications for Use

The modified XL Composix Kugel Mesh is intended for use in the reconstruction of soft tissue deficiencies, such as for the repair of hernias and chest wall defects.

## Device Story

Self-expanding, two-layered surgical mesh; constructed of knitted polypropylene monofilament with ePTFE layer and extruded PET polymer recoil rings. Rings provide stability for placement. Device used by surgeons for hernia and chest wall defect repair. Modification involves use of 0.030" diameter rings and increased weld strength compared to predicate. Device functions as a physical patch for soft tissue reconstruction.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Two-layered polypropylene monofilament mesh with ePTFE layer and PET polymer recoil rings. 0.030" ring diameter. Mechanical stability via recoil ring. Class II device.

## 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

- Composix Kugel Mesh ([K003323](/device/K003323.md))

#### B. Device Name

XL Composix Kugel Mesh

#### C. Predicate Device Name

Trade name: Composix Kugel Mesh

## D. Device Description

The modified XL Composix Kugel Mesh is a self-expanding, two-layered mesh with two extruded monofilament PET polymer "rings". The mesh is constructed of knitted polypropylene monofilament approximately 0.006" in diameter. The mesh is knitted to form a strong, porous, support material. The knit structure of the polypropylene mesh is identical to that of the predicate Composix Kugel Mesh product and allows for repair of the defect. The monofilament PET polymer "rings" add stability to the device enabling greater simplicity and assurance in the proper placement of the patch.

#### E. Intended Use

The modified XL Composix Kugel Mesh is intended for use in the reconstruction of soft tissue deficiencies, such as for the repair of hernias and chest wall defects. It has the same intended use as the predicate Composix Kugel Mesh.

{1}------------------------------------------------

### F. Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological Characteristics, Performance and Intended Use

The overall design of the modified XL Composix Kugel is still equivalent to the predicate Composix Kugel describe in K003323. Both the modified XL Composix Kugel and the predicate Composix Kugel described in K003323 consist of two layers of polypropylene mesh and one layer of ePTFE and a PET recoil ring. The rings add stability to the device enabling greater simplicity and assurance in the proper placement of the device. K003323 covered product with both 0.030" and 0.042" diameter recoil rings. The current proposed design modifications involve using only the 0.030" ring in the XL Composix Kugel and increasing the strength specification of the ring weld in the XL size Composix Kugel codes. In order to achieve this a manufacturing change is being proposed which will increase the weld strength. Although the weld strength will be increased the ring will still have the same intended use (i.e. to add stability to the device enabling greater simplicity and assurance in the proper placement of the device.

### G. Performance Data

Bench testing has been completed and supports the safety and effectiveness of the modified XL Composix Kugel Mesh for its intended use.

Dear Ms. Drago:

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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
