Foreign body reaction associated with PET and PET/chitosan electrospun nanofibrous abdominal meshes.

Electrospun materials have been widely explored for biomedical applications because of their advantageous characteristics, i.e., tridimensional nanofibrous structure with high surface-to-volume ratio, high porosity, and pore interconnectivity. Furthermore, considering the similarities between the na...
