Abstract
An implantable prosthesis for use in abdominal and thoracic surgery, in the form of a tini sheet. One of the sheet's surfaces is of a linear continuous, non-porous structure and is capable of sustaining the growth of mesothelial cells. This impedes adhesion fomation and fistulization of the viscera On the sheet's other surface, the material is discontinuous in structure with physical voids that stimulate and modulate fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, achieving the repair of the original defect by connective tissue. This side of the prosthesis is able to fuilly integrate within host tissue, Due to its lack of excess material, the risk of microorganisms settling on this side and of chronic infection is reduced.
