Popis:	Recently it has been supposed that the soft tissue response to fibre mesh materials can be influenced by changing the flexibility and/or porosity of these materials. Therefore, to test this hypothesis, small sintered stainless steel (316L) fibre web implants with varying flexibilities and porosities were inserted subcutaneously into the dorsum of rabbits. The implants were left in situ for 15 weeks. Histological and tissue compatibility evaluations were performed. It was found that the best tissue reaction developed around the most porous fibre web material. Nevertheless, because of the possible occurrence of corrosion phenomena, the real existence of a relationship between implant porosity and connective tissue behaviour is still not clear.
