Mechanical characterizations of polyester-based surgical mesh coated with chitosan

Abstract

In this study, mesh material was coated with chitosan to prevent adhesion on membrane of internal organs and to provide anti microbiological. Then experiment results were investigated in invitro. Polyester-based mesh materials having different porosity were sterilized and coated with different chitosan concentrations. The effects of processes were investigated on drilling and pulling strength properties depends on time.
