Yeah it’s obvious that there is a alternative out there that mimics the concept of what mesh is intended to do but without all the side affects.
I mean tissue graft or regeneration has to be a starting pong but it all comes down to cost and profit.
I’m sure there are alternatives out there but are probably to expensive to produce with low profit margins. -
Interesting application of a material with a long history at Penn State. Academics tend to build an area of expertise and work it as hard as they can. Not a bad thing but something to be aware of. They are coming from citrate-based polymer world, not hernia repair world.
