Investigation of mechanical compatibility of hernia meshes and human abdominal fascia.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Understanding the biomechanical properties of hernia meshes is essential in facilitating their selection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical compatibility of hernia meshes and human abdominal fascia and assess their applicability in hernia repair. METHODS:Uniaxial tensile tests were performed. A total of eight hernia meshes were tested - three standard meshes (Surgimesh®, Surgipro™, TecnoMesh®) and five light-weight meshes (Optilene®, TiO2Mesh™, Parietex™, Vypro™ II, Ultrapro™). RESULTS:The secant modulus at 5% strain and the level of orthotropy (the ratio between tensile stress in the longitudinal and the transversal direction) at 5% strain were calculated from the stress-stretch ratio curves. The impact of pore size and thickness on the elastic properties of these meshes was determined. The relationships between density and elasticity as well as between elasticity and the strain developed at 16 N/cm load were presented. The resulting mechanical properties of meshes were compared to the elasticity, orthotropy and deformability of human abdominal fascia. CONCLUSIONS:Vypro™ II and Parietex™ brands display properties similar to those of fascia in both directions. The TiO2Mesh™ and Ultrapro™ display deformability close to the deformability at 16 N/cm of the fascia transversalis. Only the Vypro™ II brand's orthotropy is similar to that of fascia.
