Use of Nylon Mesh in Repair of Abdominal Wall Defects

Pages 510-513 | Published online: 06 Jul 2016
 

Abstract

NYLON® mesh has been used in 11 cases for repair of abdominal wall defects. It seems to have all the advantages of tantalum mesh with the added features that it is not subject to “metal fatigue” or “work hardening” and that it is more substantial with less extensibility. Also, it remains intact and becomes impregnated with fibrous tissue without fragmentation. It is much less expensive than tantalum, and up to the present probably is the most satisfactory of all the prostheses used in repair of abdominal wall defects.
