Abstract
Systems and methods for using surgical meshes to deliver chemotherapeutic agents and radioactive elements are presented herein. The surgical mesh may comprise multiple layers, with an inner or outer layer comprising the radioactive element, and an inner or outer layer comprising the chemotherapeutic layer. Upon exposure to physiological conditions, the surgical mesh along with pellets or powdered elements embedded therein biodegrades.
