Abstract

Requirements to an Ideal Mesh Implant With regard to the increasing use of alloplastic prostheses in hernia repair and the growing number of diverse products, an evaluation of the requirements to these biomaterials is of major importance. According to the current standard of knowledge, this article discusses diverse textile characteristics, e.g. the amount of material, the (filament) structure or the polymer, and their impact on biocompatibility. In summary, material-reduced polypropylene meshes with an elastic and large pore-sized textile structure are recommended to enable a rather physiologic integration, a sufficient long-term stability, and a reduced complication rate.
