• Mesh alternatives – Sheila MacNeil

  I tried to post this just now but it just vanished. Might be a double post.

  I’ve become aware of somebody working in the field of prosthetics who is taking a different approach to improving the current materials. Rather than just creating a variation of the original knitted mesh, her group has created something based on the fundamentals of the problem at hand.

  It’s not hernia repair mesh but the approach is promising.

  Just posting some positive news…

  There is still much “mesh”splaining that goes on though, although things do seem to be changing for the better…. https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/materials/news/pelvic_mesh-1.728263
