- Product Title: The electrospinning parameters for mesh manufacture is optimised and the mechanical property of mesh matched that of vaginal wall. The meshes were tested for biocompatibility using adipose derived stem cells, the mesh supported stem cell growth and collagen secretion. Bacteriostatic ability was tested using E.coli and S.aureus. The meshes showed 2 log reduction in bacterial adhesion and prevented biofilm formation in comparison with commercial mesh.
- Description:
- Unique Selling Point: Soft, biocompatible, biodegradable, bacteriostatic nanofibrous mesh that matches the mechanical properties of pelvic floor.
