Inflammatory reaction and tensile strength of the abdominal wall after an implant of polypropylene mesh and polypropylene/poliglecaprone mesh for abdominal wall defect treatment in rats.
RatWoundWistarMalen = 77 rats across three groupsSurgical implantation at the abdominal wall defectAt the time of defect creation
Model: Surgically created muscular and aponeurotic abdominal wall defect
Polypropylene mesh gave a regular and ascending gain in tensile strength that stabilised by day 28, while the polypropylene with poliglecaprone mesh gave uneven gains and was weaker at day 14. Final strengths were similar. Inflammation was more intense with the combined mesh at day 4 and similar th…
