PerQHern and the Next Generation of Inguinal Hernia Repair
Some of the biggest advances in healthcare begin with a simple question:
Is there a better way to do this?
At PerQHern, that question is being applied to inguinal hernia repair.
Despite decades of progress from open surgery through laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures, inguinal hernia treatment remains an active field of research and innovation. A major 2025 systematic review demonstrates the continuing comparison and evolution of today's surgical approaches. Read More
PerQHern is approaching the problem from another direction.
Developing a Percutaneous Hernia Repair
PerQHern is developing a percutaneous inguinal hernia repair system intended to allow treatment without conventional surgical incisions.
The platform combines a specialised delivery system with a novel mesh design. Read More
The objective is to develop an approach capable of reducing the burden associated with conventional surgery while maintaining the fundamental requirement of providing a strong and durable repair.
Innovation Built Around Patient Needs
The PerQHern development philosophy centres around four core values: Innovation, Excellence, Integrity and Safety. Read More
These principles are particularly important when developing a technology intended to change an established clinical procedure.
New medical devices require careful engineering, rigorous testing and scientific evaluation before their potential benefits can ultimately be demonstrated.
A Significant Global Opportunity
Inguinal hernia is not a niche healthcare problem.
PerQHern cites approximately 20 million groin hernia repair procedures taking place worldwide each year. Read More
The scale of the condition means there is a significant opportunity for technologies capable of meaningfully improving treatment.
PerQHern's ambition is to contribute to that change by developing a new minimally invasive approach to inguinal hernia repair.
As development progresses, the company remains focused on its long-term objective: reimagining how one of the world's most common surgical conditions can be treated.
