Characterization of the Mechanical Strength, Resorption Properties, and Histologic Characteristics of a Fully Absorbable Material (Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate—PHASIX Mesh) in a Porcine Model of Hernia Repair
Figure 2
(a) PHASIX Mesh placed in the preperitoneal plane (bridging the defect) and fixated circumferentially with approximately SorbaFix Absorbable Fixation Device constructs. (b) P4HB Plug placed in the preperitoneal plane as an onlay mesh bridging the defect and fixated circumferentially with approximately permanent PROLENE (2-0) sutures.
