?:definition
  • Implantable pacemaker/defibrillator mesh bags that contain antibacterial properties. They are constructed from biocompatible mesh that is coated with antibiotics, which is eluted (i.e., dissolved) locally within a specified time frame (e.g., 7 to 10 days) within the surgical pocket for the cardiac device. These antibiotics help to provide protection from microbial colonization of the implanted device during and immediately after surgical implant. Both absorbable and nonabsorbable pouches are available. The absorbable version is constructed from bioabsorbable multifilaments coated with a bioabsorbable polymer designed to break down naturally over a period of time.
