Broad Range of
Mesh Fixation Devices
PLCL Degradation Study – Swine
Abdominal Cavity Implantation Study
Objective of Study
- To estimate the complete absorption period for PLCL
Observations
- The surface and structure of PLCL film is complete and without obvious degradation pore in a week after implantation of composite mesh.
- When implanted after a month, the PLCL film has been covered completely by the pseudo peritoneum, the film is still integrated but it became brittle and can be removed after stripping the tissue.
Conclusion
- Merineum Mesh residual content is more than 98% when 12 weeks Post-Op
