Abstract: An arrangement includes: a plurality of mesh tubes arranged in parallel and extending along an axial direction, each mesh tube of the plurality of mesh tubes having a mesh tube length in the axial direction; and a first mesh sheet having a first surface. The plurality of mesh tubes is disposed on the first surface. The arrangement provides structural support to surrounding tissues upon placement of the arrangement into a human body.

Abstract: A lightweight reinforced mesh, such as a surgical mesh, suitable for use in various applications, including breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, mastopexy, breast augmentation, breast reduction, soft tissue reconstruction, hernia repair, tissue plication reinforcement, tissue support and repair, tendon support and repair, tissue engineering, and procedures or other applications requiring additional soft tissue strength or thickness. In addition, disclosed is a use of such a mesh for tissue engineering, regardless of the surgical application. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a surgical mesh capable of providing enhanced support while maintaining flexibility, low density, and absorbable characteristics. Further the present disclosure, focuses on reducing the material burden of a scaffold while increasing void space to facilitate tissue ingrowth.
