Abstract: The mechanical properties and biocompatibility of hernia repair mesh have been difficult to achieve an optimal balance. In this paper, polypropylene (PP)/Poly(glycolide-ε-caprolactone) (PGCL) partially degradable hernia repair meshes were prepared through the warp-knitting process and… read more here.
