Table 1.

The structural properties of Restorelle (n=5) and UltraPro (n=4) subjected to a uniaxial tensile testing protocol. Mesh samples were loaded to failure along two perpendicular directions orientation 1 (O1) and orientation 2 (O2), and compared utilizing a Student's t-test (p-value<0.05). O1 represents the direction prolapse meshes are typically implanted.
