A surgical mesh includes a body portion configured to extend across a tissue defect and a plurality of fibers secured to the body portion. The plurality of fibers extends outwardly from the body portion and is gathered at a hub for handling by a clinician. In embodiments, the plurality of fibers may be coupled to the mesh via one of knitting, weaving, or interlacing each fiber through yarns forming the body portion. In other embodiments, the plurality of fibers is coupled to the mesh via one of knotting, tying, welding, adhering, and fusing each fiber to yarns forming the body portion.
