Popis: | When Marlex mesh is inserted into the body it serves as a scaffold into which migrates fibroblastic tissue. Throughout the process of maturation of fibrous connective tissue, the mesh remains inert. Experience covering 15 years demonstrates that Marlex mesh is useful for repair of ligament, muscle, and bone defects. |
