Galax mesh is constructed of knitted fillaments of extruded polypropylene identical in composition to that used in polypropylene suture. This material, when used as a suture, has been reported to be non-reactive and to retain its strength indefinitely in clinical use. Galax mesh is knitted by a process which interlinks each fiber junction and which provides for elasticity in both directions. This construction permits the mesh to be cut into any desired shape or size without unraveling. This bi-directional elastic property allows adaptation to various stresses encountered in the body.
