Test of Gore ENFORM patch to reinforce certain hernia repairs
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the Gore ENFORM biomaterial patch helps reinforce the stitch line in specific ventral or hiatal hernia repairs. It will compare outcomes after surgery and follow patients for healing and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and can sign consent and follow the study visits
- Your surgery plan is for a single-site ventral or hiatal hernia repair
- The hernia is expected to be Grade 1 or Grade 2 (not very severe)
- Your surgical wound is expected to be “clean” (not contaminated)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less
- You do not have certain infections, immune problems, or major liver/kidney disease

This study is testing a material called Fortiva Tissue Matrix in hernia repair surgery. Researchers want to see if it works well and is safe.
This trial tests whether using a flap of your own hernia sac to cover the mesh during hernia repair can improve healing. It's for people with a complex hernia that touches a bone, like near the breastbone or pelvis.
This trial studies whether using a specific implant “mesh” (OviTex) during robotic hernia surgery helps patients heal well and report less pain and better quality of life over time. It may be an option if you have a ventral or inguinal hernia planned for elective robotic repair.
This study is testing a new system (ECLIPSIUM) for fixing mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well for people with a single midline hernia (ventral, umbilical, or incisional) that is small to medium size (1-5 cm). If you qualify, the study will help doctors repair your hernia with a special mesh that may reduce complications.
This trial tests a study drug (AGN-151607-DP) in adults having open surgery to repair a ventral hernia in the middle of the belly. It looks at side effects and how the hernia responds to treatment.
This trial compares two procedures (ESAR and FEVAR) to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm in people whose anatomy makes the usual repair hard. It may help find a safer, more durable option for patients with challenging aortic neck features.
