Abstract
Isoelastic porous meshes useful in hernia repair have pores that remain open under physiological loads.
Claims10
An isoelastic porous mesh comprising a biocompatible polymer filament knit on a knitting machine according to a front bar knitting scheme of 1-0/1-2/1-0/2-3/2-1/2-3/4-5/4-3/4-5/3-2/3-4/3-2// and a rear bar knitting scheme of 4-5/4-3/4-5/3-2/3-4/3-2/1-0/1-2/1-0/2-3/2-1/2-3//, wherein the mesh includes pores which remain greater than 1 mm in diameter under a load of about 25N.
A method of forming an isoelastic porous mesh comprising:
- knitting a mesh according to a front bar knitting scheme of 1-0/1-2/1-0/2-3/2-1/2-3/4-5/4-3/4-5/3-2/3-4/3-2// and a rear bar knitting scheme of 4-5/4-3/4-5/3-2/3-4/3-2/1-0/1-2/1-0/2-3/2-1/2-3//, wherein the mesh includes pores which remain greater than 1mm in diameter under a load of about 25N.
