Abstract
Biaxial and uniaxial tests yield different results with respect to the mechanical behavior of mesh explants. These findings demonstrate that an evaluation of the mechanical biocompatibility of prosthetic meshes should be based on an experimental configuration (uniaxial or biaxial tension) which reproduces the expected in vivo conditions of mechanical loading and deformation.
