Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of high polymer material fabric surface modification, and particularly relates to a graphene modified antibacterial hernia patch multifilament mesh fabric and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the researches on the hernia patch mesh fabric at home and abroad are mostly concentrated in the researches on the clinical application performance and physical performance, and less involve the researches on the raw material composition ratio parameters, multifilament structure design, mesh fiber surface modification and post-finishing process of the hernia patch mesh fabric.
[0003] The three medical device products of the hernia patch fabric which have been certified by the China Food and Drug Administration are mainly prepared from the mesh structure of monofilament material, and the main material is the non-absorbable polypropylene fiber woven or the single non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament and single absorbable poly(L-lactide) monofilament. The product is sterilized by epoxy acetylene and used once. The polypropylene fiber has a hard touch, the monofilament woven mesh fabric is not soft enough, and lacks antibacterial function, thereby increasing the risk of postoperative infection of the patient.
[0004] At present, the hernia patch fabric used in the clinic is woven from high molecular materials, and the material itself does not have antibacterial function, is easily polluted by bacteria in the air environment during the operation process, and is easily infected after being implanted in the human body for a long time, so that the antibacterial function of the hernia mesh fabric is particularly important in the clinic.
[0005] Antibacterial mechanism of graphene: the surface of graphene contains rich oxygen-containing functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, epoxy, etc.), these functional groups make the surface of graphene oxide carry negative electricity, and after contacting with the phospholipid layer of the bacterial surface, hydrogen bonds are formed and electrostatic adsorption effect is generated, even if the flagella of the bacteria have a certain movement ability, it is also difficult to escape the bondage. The electrostatic effect also affects the membrane potential of the cell membrane, causing functional damage of the membrane; and the functional groups at the edge of graphene enter the inside of the bacteria after cutting the cell membrane of the bacteria, interact with the respiratory enzyme system, produce reactive oxygen free radicals (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical, cause oxidative stress of the bacteria, lead to oxidation of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, and finally cause membrane aging and bacterial death. The graphene modified antibacterial hernia patch multifilament mesh fabric has long-term antibacterial property.
[0006] Patent CN 112891638 B obtains a hollow tube by an electrospinning method, cuts the electrospinning film with antibacterial effect as a filler in the control tube, makes holes on the hernia patch, and composites the control tube containing the filler and the ordinary hernia patch to achieve antibacterial effect. However, the electrospinning process of this method is complex, the process is more, the product cost is high, and only the antibacterial effect of the hole part is limited, and the whole ordinary hernia patch fabric cannot be effectively antibacterial, Still There are technical After bacterial infection risk. Patent CN 118059310 B is formed by core-shell composite yarn and low-temperature pressure plastic film forming process to obtain a double-sided hernia patch structure. However, due to the two-layer material superposition, the softness of the patch is lost, the stiffness of the patch is increased, and due to the polytetrafluoroethylene film on one side, the original mesh structure of the patch is destroyed, which is not conducive to the flow of liquid and the growth of human tissue.
