The failure of polypropylene surgical mesh in vivo.

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2018
Surgical mesh materials made from fibres of polypropylene (PP) have been widely used for over fifty years. However in recent times the use of these materials has been called into question for certain surgical operations, known as "pelvic organ" or "transvaginal" procedures.

Accelerated in vitro oxidative degradation testing of polypropylene surgical mesh.

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. Part B - Applied biomaterials, 2023
Polypropylene (PP) surgical mesh had reasonable success in repair of hernia and treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI); however, their use for the repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) resulted in highly variable results with lifelong ...

Review of outcomes in pre-pectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction with and without surgical mesh assistance.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
INTRODUCTION In the past decade, surgeons have increasingly advocated for a return to pre-pectoral breast reconstruction with claims that surgical mesh (including acellular dermal matrix) can reduce complication rates.

The effect of fabric structure on the bursting characteristics of warp-knitted surgical mesh

, 2020
Surgical mesh is a porous fabric that is mainly produced from polymeric monofilaments using the warp-knitting method. Surgical mesh is used for healing hernia.

Surface-Functionalized Polypropylene Surgical Mesh for Enhanced Performance and Biocompatibility.

ACS Applied Bio Materials, 2019
Polypropylene (PP) surgical mesh has attracted vast attention due to its chemical inertness and excellent mechanical properties. However, improvement is necessary to enhance its biocompatibility and to prevent unwanted tissue adhesion.

Anisotropic evaluation of synthetic surgical meshes

Hernia, 2010
The material properties of meshes used in hernia repair contribute to the overall mechanical behavior of the repair. The anisotropic potential of synthetic meshes, representing a difference in material properties (e.g., elasticity) in different material axes, is not well defined to date. Haphazard orientation of anisotropic mesh material can contribute

NICE responds to surgical mesh article

BMJ, 2018
The life changing complications that affect some women after vaginal mesh procedures should prompt us all to reflect on how the health system should monitor and respond to potential harms from any intervention, medicine, or device. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence first made recommendations about the use of mesh in its ...
