Mechanical and structural characteristics associated with each mesh.

	Gynemesh (Ethicon)	UltraPro (Ethicon)	Restorelle (Coloplast)

Weight (g/m2)	44	31	19
Pore Size (µm)	2240	4000+^*	2370
Porosity (%)	64±2.1	69 ± 1.8	78 ± 3.0
Stiffness (N/mm)	28±2.7	22±2.8	11±0.89

UltraPro contained a resorbable component (poliglecaprolactone 25) in addition to polypropylene allowing it to have very large pores (4mm) when this component is resorbed. Values reported with resorbable component dissolved.
