Vypro

Manufactured by Johnson & Johnson

Sourced in Germany

Vypro is a versatile laboratory equipment designed for use in various scientific and research applications. It functions as a multi-purpose centrifuge, capable of separating components in liquid samples based on their density and size. The core function of Vypro is to facilitate efficient sample preparation and analysis through the process of centrifugation.

Polypropylene Mesh Classification and Laparoscopic Repair

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The SHR classifies polypropylene-based flat meshes by weight, arbitrarily as standard (50 g/m² or greater) or lightweight (less than 50 g/m²), but disregards pore size.^{31 (link)} Accordingly, pure polypropylene meshes are either StdPPM or lightweight pure polypropylene mesh (LWPPM).
SHR further registers 3 lightweight composite polypropylene-based mesh options for laparoscopic repair by their brand names, Vypro and Ultrapro (Ethicon), and Timesh (PFM Medical). The SHR has not distinguished various generations and versions of these 3 trademarks.
Because polyester meshes are not classified by weight in SHR, they were included only in the first stage of the analyses.
The final study stage comprised solely polypropylene-based meshes, dichotomously classified as StdPPM or LWM.

Hernia Repair Techniques and Mesh Types

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Inguinal/femoral hernias were repaired either by open (Lichtenstein) or minimally invasive techniques, that is totally extraperitoneal (TEP) or transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP). Preoperatively, 2 g ampicillin/1 g sulbactam (Pfizer, Berlin, Germany) was given for Lichtenstein, but not for minimally invasive repair. Partially absorbable lightweight polypropylene-polyglecaprone mesh (ULTRAPRO, Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany) was cropped to 15 × 12 cm for augmentation.
Same antibiotic was pre-operatively given for ventral, incisional and parastomal hernia repairs. Between 2001 and 2012, we implanted lightweight polypropylene-polyglactin mesh (Vypro, Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany) during open repair. Afterwards, we switched to a lightweight polypropylene mesh (Optilene, Braun, Melsungen, Germany). The meshes were routinely positioned retromuscularly with minimum 5 cm overlap of the fascial defect and fixed with interrupted 2/0 polypropylene sutures (Prolene, Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany). During minimally invasive intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM), a non-absorbable polypropylene mesh (Proceed, Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany) was fixed with four 2/0 polypropylene sutures (Prolene, Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany) and absorbable tacks (Securestrap, Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany) in double crown technique.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
