  • Subject is pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study.
  • Subject is known to be infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Subject has a life expectancy of less than 2 years at the time of enrollment.
  • Subject has been treated with an investigational product in the past 30 days.
  • Subject is part of the site personnel directly involved with this study
  • Subject has a known allergy to tetracycline hydrochloride or kanamycin sulfate, the test device or its component materials.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Hernia Recurrence
A recurrent hernia was defined as any hernia identified or confirmed by the investigator, during any study follow-up visit, in approximately the same position as the hernia repaired in the study procedure. Potential hernias identified via incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan were evaluated by the operating surgeon for clinical significance and confirmation of hernia recurrence.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Device Related Adverse Events
In this study, a device-related adverse event is defined as any undesirable clinical event occurring in the abdominal space including the lower abdominal, inguinal and pubic regions (including the skin), as well as any other undesirable clinical events judged to be related to the study device or surgical procedure regardless of anatomical region.
Carolinas Comfort Scale (CCS) Total Score - Change From Baseline
The Carolinas Comfort Scale is a short, hernia-specific 8-category questionnaire designed to measure patient perception of symptoms and patient satisfaction with a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (disabling symptoms). The change was calculated as the mean value at 24 months minus the mean value at baseline.
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 - Physical Component Summary (Change From Baseline)
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 is a multipurpose, 12-item health survey that measures seven domains of health: general health, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health (role-physical), role limitations due to emotional problems (role-emotional), bodily pain, vitality and mental health, and social functioning. It yields two summary measures of physical and mental health: the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The scores range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health. The change was calculated as the mean value at 24 months minus the mean value at baseline.
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 - Mental Component Summary (Change From Baseline)
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 is a multipurpose, 12-item health survey that measures seven domains of health: general health, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health (role-physical), role limitations due to emotional problems (role-emotional), bodily pain, vitality and mental health, and social functioning. It yields scale scores for each of these seven health domains, and two summary measures of physical and mental health: the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The scores range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health. The change was calculated as the mean value at 24 months minus the mean value at baseline.
Surgical Procedure Time
Measured from incision to closure (skin to skin).
Length of Hospital Stay
Measured from end of index procedure to hospital discharge
Number of Study Related Post Operative Surgical Procedures
Number of Study Related Post Operative New Hospital Admissions
Number of Related Post-operative Visits Unrelated to Standard of Care
Incidence of Seroma
