Evaluation of synthetic reticular hybrid meshes designed for intraperitoneal abdominal wall repair: Preclinical and in vitro behavior
Fig 5
Morphological studies of the implanted meshes.
Light microscopy (Masson´s trichrome staining, 100x magnification) and scanning electron microscopy micrographs of the surface of the materials (500x magnification) in adhesion-free and adhesion-covered areas for each group at 14 days post-implantation. The Preclude group showed no adhesion-covered areas in any animal. f: mesh filaments, P: Preclude.
