TIGR® Matrix is the world’s 1st long-term resorbable, 100% synthetic matrix. It is warp knitted from two different resorbable fibers that degrade at different rates following implantation.

TIGR® Matrix Surgical Mesh was developed based on the hypothesis that soft tissue positively remodels in response to the stimulus of increased mechanical load (mtr). It is strong for 6-9 months and gone in 3 years.

This unique patented dual-fiber design provides an initial high strength / high stability configuration, with gradually increasing mechanical compliance over time as the device loses strength and is resorbed.

After an initial 2 week healing phase the increasing mechanical compliance results in a gradual transition of load from the mesh to the patient -
inducing mechanotransduction.

Mechanotransduction is the physiological process by which cells sense and respond to mechanical loads.
