“…The amount of cross linking might be another explanation for the high recurrence rate, because a non-cross-linked biological mesh was used in the majority of patients [ 22 ]. Cross-links are covalent bonds between the collagen and are supposed to resist collagen degradation by host or bacterial collagenase [ 23 , 24 ]. Thereby, cross linking increases tensile strength which is supposed to result in a lower rate of recurrent hernia compared to non-cross-linked meshes, especially in a contaminated field.…”

“…32,33 Experimental studies have demonstrated that collagen cross-linking with glutaraldehyde imparted resistance against the activity of collagenase. 34,35 Cross-linked biologic prostheses should therefore be relatively resistant to bacterial degradation, and therefore, safe to use in contaminated or infected hernia repair. Recent clinical reports described accelerated degradation of implanted Surgisis (non-cross-linked) when used to reconstruct abdominal wall defects in infected fields.…”

“…34,35 Furthermore, materials stabilized with GA have been in clinical use for many decades, for example, heart valves and vascular grafts with minimal short-term complications. 36 Because large amounts of GA are cytotoxic, 37,38 the exposure time to GA was minimized by short exposure to GA vapor. The GA vapor crosslinking of the collagenous scaffold was examined by direct contact cytotoxicity testing using murine L-929 fibroblasts.…”
