Meshes are usually made from durable and biocompatible materials such as polypropylene, polyester, or polyethylene. They are utilized during surgery to repair weakened or torn tissues or to provide support to areas affected by disease. For instance, in hernia surgeries, meshes can be used to strengthen the abdominal wall or repair a torn muscle.
Meshes are designed to support the tissue healing process and reduce potential complications. They encourage tissue growth while providing a resilient structure to facilitate healing.
