Surgical mesh for ventral incisional hernia repairs: Understanding mesh design [PDF]
Plastic Surgery, 2016 Surgical mesh has become an indispensable tool in hernia repair to improve outcomes and reduce costs; however, efforts are constantly being undertaken in mesh development to overcome postoperative complications. Common complications include infection, pain, adhesions, mesh extrusion and hernia recurrence.

Impact of High-Intensity Ultrasound on Strength of Surgical Mesh When Treating Biofilm Infections. [PDF]
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control, 2019 The use of cavitation-based ultrasound histotripsy to treat infections on surgical mesh has shown great potential. However, any impact of the therapy on the mesh must be assessed before the therapy can be applied in the clinic. The goal of this study was

Histotripsy Treatment of S. Aureus Biofilms on Surgical Mesh Samples Under Varying Scan Parameters. [PDF]
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control, 2018 Cavitation-based ultrasound histotripsy has shown potential for treating infections on surgical mesh. The goal of this paper was to explore a new scan strategy while assessing the impact of scan speed, scan step size, and the number of cycles in the tone
