Assessment of mesh shrinkage using fibroblast-populated collagen matrices: a proof of concept for in vitro hernia mesh testing

Purpose This study uses free-floating contractile fibroblast-populated collagen matrices (FPCMs) to test the shrinkage of different hernia mesh products. We hope to present this model as a proof of concept for the development of in vitro hernia mesh testing—a novel technology with interesting potent...
