Desenvolvimento de tela transobturatória polimérica para uso na técnica de sling.

Abstract

The sling technique by transobturator approach is effective for the treatment of women with Stress Urinary Incontinence and has a high cure rate and improved quality of life with low complication rates. This work aimed to develop and produce, polycaprolactone, screen for use in Sling surgery and to perform comparative analyses of this material with a polypropylene bladder, used commercially. The survey was developed in the laboratory of evaluation and development of Biomaterials in the Northeast-CERTBIO. Two samples were used to screen; a made in the laboratory and another used commercially. Been evaluated physical and chemical compositions of the Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Polypropylene (PP) screens, through the following techniques: infrared Spectroscopy in the region with a Fourier transform (FTIR), x-ray Diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface tension, traction mechanical essays and Cytotoxicity test. You can check by the FTIR analysis, that the trainer material of fabrics was just poliproplieno and polycaprolactone, for examining the computer spectrogram. The XRD analysis corroborated with the results obtained in the FTIR analysis, which indicated that the material was PP screens and PCL, showing a characteristic you might like to look of these polymers. Also, through the analysis of DRX, it was possible to o bserve the degree of crystallinity indicating the PP has higher degree of crystallinity the PCL. One can prove that the PP has higher mechanical strength than the PCL, checking so that the PP is more brittle than the PCL. The analysis of surface tension showed that both screens have partial wettability due to cavity present on the surface of the canvas. The biocompatibility of the compounds has been confirmed with the Cytotoxicity test and it showed low cytotoxicity in two screens.
