Abbreviations & Acronyms ECM extracellular matrix FDM fused deposition modelling MUS mid-urethral sling PCL polycaprolactone POP pelvic organ prolapse PP polypropylene SUI stress urinary incontinence Surgical management of SUI includes the use of MUS. The present findings show that the PCL mesh has similar elastic and viscous mechanical properties to PP, indicating that it can be manipulated similar to PP mesh during implantation surgery and might also provide adequate mechanical support to pelvic floor structures I in vivo i . PCL degrades over a period of 2-3 years,13 and should therefore avoid complications such as chronic pain and erosion2 that have led to worldwide concerns about PP mesh for SUI and prolapse surgery.
