Distant Transport of Antimicrobial Protection by Implantable Polymeric Meshes
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 5, May 2026.A computational model is developed to elucidate the mechanisms governing the interaction between polymeric meshes and drug elution in implantable devices. The model is validated through extensive in vitro and in vivo testing showing its ability to capture the key phenomena underlying drug distribution over time and space.
