PerigeeTM Transobturator Anterior Prolapse Repair System
PerigeeTM is a comprehensive system utilizing a transobturator approach to provide an innovative and time-saving procedure for surgical repair of all types of anterior defects—central, lateral, proximal and distal.
Patented helical needles enable the surgeon to position a supportive mesh designed to correct the bladder's herniation into the vaginal wall. Perigee allows for customization with either biologic or synthetic graft material, depending on the needs of the patient.
Features & Benefits
Pre-Configured Grafts
Perigee's graft configuration offers four-point fixation through the arcus tendenius, designed to provide Level II support. Surgeons choose from customizable InteXenTM biologic or InteProTM synthetic graft materials based on preference and needs. Mesh can be trimmed according to patient anatomy so all types of anterior defects can be treated.
Custom Helical Needles
Proprietary transobturator needles allow surgeons to place the proximal arms of the graft near the ischial spine. Bilateral superior and inferior needles pass with minimal lateral dissection, reducing the amount of potential blood loss and allowing four-point fixation of the mesh. When the arms are fixated through the white line, the need for deep lateral suturing is eliminated.
Innovative Needle Tip Connectors and Removable Plastic Sheaths
Narrow needles minimize tissue trauma and plastic sheaths allow smooth passage through tissue. Straightforward mesh attachment to needle tips.
Perigee offers these benefits to you and your patients:
- Standardized and repeatable—Perigee is intended to be easily reproduced on each patient.
- Time efficient—During one clinical study of 11 patients, the average procedure time was 18.4 minutes in the hands of an experienced surgeon.
- Customizable—Mesh can be trimmed to accommodate individual patient anatomy.
- Minimally invasive—Uses four needles (four puncture sites), one piece of mesh and a vaginal incision.
