Abstract
Three types of reinforcing material that are used in herniorrhaphy were tested by biaxial straining to obtain their load-extension properties. Steel mesh was by far the stiffest material, followed by porcine skin, then Mersilene mesh, when tested by suturing around their periphery. The Mersilene mesh and porcine skin failed around the holes made by the suture, whilst the sutures failed when used with the steel mesh.Keywords
