Anti-infective Knitted Surgical Mesh for Stress Urinary Incontinence Applications: Synthesis, Characterization, and Investigation of Its In Vitro Biocompatibility

Anti-infective Knitted Surgical Mesh for Stress Urinary Incontinence Applications: Synthesis, Characterization, and Investigation of Its In Vitro Biocompatibility

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is an important problem that results in urinary incontinence when the urethra fails to function properly and is very common, especially in women. Mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery is recognized as an effective and FDA-approved surgical treatment. In the MUS technique, a porous mesh sling based on polypropylene (PP), a non-absorbable synthetic polymer, is usually used. However, mesh-induced infections after MUS significantly threaten patient comfort and health. The aim of this study was to synthesize biocompatible MUS mesh with antimicrobial properties for the treatment of SUI.
