Biocompatible Mesh for Safe Pelvic Organ Prolapse Treatment
Mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Tags: IIT Bombay, India, Healthcare & Lifesciences
The proposed innovation is a biocompatible, bioresorbable electrospun mesh designed to address pelvic organ prolapse, a condition affecting millions of women. Unlike polypropylene-based meshes, this new design matches the biomechanical properties of the pelvic floor, supports tissue regeneration, and degrades safely over time. Applications include surgical treatment for higher-degree prolapse cases, improving patient outcomes without compromising quality of life. The technology is at the proof-of-concept stage, with a basic implant design ready, material selection completed, and market analysis performed. It has significant societal impact by addressing the unmet demand for a safe prolapse treatment and potentially increasing female workforce participation.
