"Elastic mesh with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments preserves effective porosity of textile implants"
"Background: In hernia surgery, meshes with small pores tend to be filled by fibrous tissue which reduces their stretchability and causes patient complaints. Due to inelasticity of current meshes, mechanical strain might cause pores to collapse even in large pore mesh constructions. In this study a mesh with elastic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments was constructed to prevent pore size changes even under mechanical strain and its biocompatibility in comparison to polyvinylidenfluorid (PVDF) was evaluated."
"Conclusions: The newly developed TPU mesh shows elasticity, structural stability and preserved effective porosity under mechanical strain. Immunohistochemistry indicates superior biocompatibility of TPU mesh compared to PVDF after 7 and 21 days."
"The experimental mesh was made from PVDF with non-absorbable monofilament polycarbonate-based thermoplastic urethane (TPU) threads (used polymer: Chronoflex C93A by Advan Source, Wilmington, MA, USA).
