Abstract Background: Surgical meshes used in hernia repair face long-term challenges, particularly postoperative complications such as chronic inflammation and poor tissue integration leading to much more complications such as hernia recurrence. Objective: This study proposes a mesh with dual-function bioactive coating which is a mesh that modulated in a way to suppress acute immune response to improve healing outcomes and reduce recurrence rates. Methods: The mesh designed to have two functional layers. The first…
