That is precisely why I said for now. I don't know if they eliminate the toxins in the diet our silkworms are on. Will they have similar chow in Vietnam? Maybe they can indeed feed them a non toxic diet for silks made for medical uses. Non-medical use silkworms could eat mulberry. I thought I read were sutures made from silkworms were available. So take my concern with a grain.... mainly because medical uses are out 5+ years and we could have relevant data by then.
Through testing in this project we were able to confirm flexibility greater than current commercial meshes but this flexibility still did not match that of abdominal tissue. The chosen mesh exceeded the objectives that were set for maximum strength and durability. Sufficient biocompatibility was not demonstrated, the meshes released cytotoxins. Further work on this procedure will be needed.
