Description
The biological response of the 3D inguinal hernia scaffold ProFlor has been evaluated through MRI signal intensity (SI) at three defined post-implantation stages: short, mid and long term. The SI of ProFlor has been compared to the SI of the neighbouring muscles and fat. As additional proof, histolo...
The biological response of the 3D inguinal hernia scaffold ProFlor has been evaluated through MRI signal intensity (SI) at three defined post-implantation stages: short, mid and long term. The SI of ProFlor has been compared to the SI of the neighbouring muscles and fat. As additional proof, histology of tissue specimens excised at the identical post-implantation stages from porcine models in the fame of a previous experimental attempt were also evaluated. The results of this experimental trial have ben already published in 2011 - ref: A new prosthetic implant for inguinal hernia repair: its features in a porcine experimental model.
