Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl)–Wrapped Implants to Improve Implant Stability

Implants wrapped with fast-absorbing Vicryl mesh demonstrated improved stability, likely due to capsular microtopographic changes (seen only on SEM) induced by the presence of Vicryl mesh, resulting in increased frictional force between the implant surface and surrounding tissues. This study highlights the potential for using Vicryl mesh as an affordable temporary scaffold for stabilizing smooth implants and tissue expanders.

Abstract

Implants wrapped with fast-absorbing Vicryl mesh demonstrated improved stability, likely due to capsular microtopographic changes (seen only on SEM) induced by the presence of Vicryl mesh, resulting in increased frictional force between the implant surface and surrounding tissues. This study highlights the potential for using Vicryl mesh as an affordable temporary scaffold for stabilizing smooth implants and tissue expanders.
