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.
Pre-procedure 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.
