Medtronic parietex own study of 29.5% shrinkage
I have full pdf copy of study (they removed link to their website when realised it was being passed along)
Note compared to ethicon 33.6%
Dr William Brown only does tissue repairs due to many hernia mesh issues & clearly successful with non mesh repairs
So why isn’t pro mesh community capable of the same non mesh success

Thank you,wouldn’t wish this on anyone
Pleased yours is only titanium but many small clips & staples including stainless are alloy & contain nickel/ chrome, can be found on mnfctr spec
Thankfully your surgeon’s been concerned enough to investigate the rouge one & hope your ok now
Thanks @JanisUrban & a YouTube version for those without server access to article (UK?) Even dental & staples

Absolutely yet Medtronic stainless surgical staples contain nickel & chrome. Warning for surgeons but apparently no consent required & surgeons don’t need to tell you
I have nickel allergy & had 28 metal fixations placed without knowing (9 removed) & haven’t clue what content is
