Polypropylene mesh is a synthetic surgical mesh used for hernia and other soft tissue repairs. It works as a scaffold. Surgeons stitch torn tissue to the mesh to close a hernia. This leaves less tension on the damaged tissue. Polypropylene mesh is the most widely-used type of mesh for hernia repair. Polypropylene mesh comes in either woven or non-woven sheets. And polypropylene mesh can be cut or shaped for specific types of hernia repairs.
