Deep Blue Hernia Mesh Strand Package for SuturesDeep Blue Hernia Mesh Strand Package for SuturesPrior to this device, doctors would have to thread several sutures through several needles for one surgery, taking a tremendous amount of time and risking puncture injuries. This package and device, of which the PETG package is part of, aids the doctors in effortlessly extracting the sutures and needles during hernia surgery by organizing the mesh suture strands and needles in a logical fashion, making the device and package of extreme value in the operating room. Extensions are tucked neatly to of the way until the surgeon needs them. A side benefit is the strands are much less destructive to the organs they are sewn into, distributing the weight over a wider area than traditional sutures. The packaging also protects the device by passing all ASTM testing and sterilization validations. Inspiration came from research at Bass Pro Shops and in the sewing industry.
