ABSTRACT:
Implantable surgical meshes are disclosed. The mesh is attached to a needle and is coated with a lubricious material in such a manner that the coating reduces friction and trauma as the mesh is implanted, and subsequently is substantially eliminated once the mesh is implanted to enable better tissue ingrowth into the mesh. Methods of placing such a mesh are also disclosed.
