Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A prospective, retrospective, non-randomized, multicenter study with two independent hernia study cohorts (Ventral / Incisional Hernia Repair and Diaphragmatic / Hiatal Hernia Repair). The primary objective of this study is to collect GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial product commercial-use data on device functional performance and short-term patient experience.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

The subject is / has:

1. At least 18 years old at the time of informed consent. Minimum age required by state regulations (as applicable).
2. An expected scored Class I (Clean) surgical wound using CDC Surgical Wound Classification system.
3. A planned implant with GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial for a single site ventral or hiatal hernia repair as suture line reinforcement.
4. An expected scored Grade 1 or Grade 2 using the Ventral Hernia Working Group Grading system.
5. Willing to provide informed consent and comply with follow-up requirements.


At the time of index procedure, the subject is / has:

1. At least 18 years old. Minimum age required by state regulations (as applicable).
2. Implanted with GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial for a single site ventral or hiatal hernia repair as suture-line reinforcement on or before 365 days prior to site protocol amendment 3 approval date.
3. Unless there is an Informed Consent waiver issued by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), an Informed Consent Form (ICF) signed by subject.

Exclusion Criteria

The subject is / has:

1. Treated in another drug or medical device study within 1 year of study enrollment.
2. Implanted with GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial in the reconstruction of cardiovascular defects.
3. Hernia repair expected to be performed as part of a bridged procedure (i.e., expected inability to perform primary closure of fascia or crura, patients requiring permanent support from the device).
4. A BMI \>40.
5. Evidence of a systemic infection.
6. Cirrhosis or undergoing dialysis.
7. A wound-healing disorder.
8. Immunocompromised such as, with HIV or transplant, or receiving chemo or radiation therapy.
9. Expected to undergo mesh implantation in conjunction with any bariatric procedure and / or panniculectomy procedure.
10. A stoma.
11. Co-morbid conditions that may limit their ability to comply with study and follow-up requirements.
12. Positive pregnancy or lactation status as confirmed by site standard of care.
13. Hernias requiring treatment within multiple body regions or expected use of multiple hernia mesh devices.
