RISPreventing Mesh Pore Collapse by Designing Mesh Pores With Auxetic Geometries: A Comprehensive Evaluation Via Computational Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) meshes are exposed to predominately tensile loading conditions in vivo that can lead to pore collapse by 70–90%, decreasing overall porosity and providing a plausible mechanism for the ...
Deformation and Durability of Soft Three-Dimensional-Printed Polycarbonate Urethane Porous Membranes for Potential Use in Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the herniation of the pelvic organs into the vaginal space, resulting in the feeling of a bulge and organ dysfunction. Treatment of POP often involves repositioning the organs using a ...
Deformation of Transvaginal Mesh in Response to Multiaxial Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Synthetic mesh for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair is associated with high complication rates. While current devices incorporate large pores (>1 mm), recent studies have shown that uniaxial loading of mesh reduces ...
