Just like they say reaching the top is easy maintaining that position is quite difficult, metaphorically applies to modern day human surgeries. Going under the knife is definitely a major decision and needs to be taken very carefully to avoid unwanted medical repercussions that might otherwise, prove traumatic and costly too. One factor that goes into ensuring the success of surgery is the equipment and material used that aids the recovery of the ailing patient. And a surgical mesh forms a critical component that binds together the rectification of the organ and has a final say in making the recovery successful without any further complications.

Of all the factors involved in a complicated surgery, a doctor's or rather the surgeon's skill and the post recovery treatment makes a significant difference. To ensure the organ that has been operated upon staying intact without any complications is dictated by the surgical mesh that holds it together. Depending on the surgery and the mesh used can be of permanent type or dissolvable type. The permanent types made of polypropylene are the ones widely used to correctly maintain the organ's structure. But of recently, the dissolvable types or biomesh are increasingly being used for the various advantages they pose over the permanent types.

It is not necessary that every time there is some wound a surgery might be required. A simple medical procedure and additional care can also help heal the wound quicker. A microporous tape is another such medical accessory that helps in attending to wounds and other severe cuts on the body. The tape as its name describes has very minute pores whose diameter can be measured to the tune of a couple of nanometers only. These pores help the skin breathe or in simple words will able circulate air and help the wound heal faster. Although invented in the late fifties of the earlier century, it has found applications in wide areas of the medical field and other industries as well.

Though the medical field is by and large one of the most prolific users of the microporous tape, its utility has also been widely appreciated in fields totally unrelated to the medical sciences. Right from media and television sector to the extreme yo-yo players have found various advantages of the tape and tend to use it day in and day out to achieve their purpose. But nevertheless it has been a boon to the medical fraternity to quickly dress up the wound and help the patient in achieving really quick recovery. Of course, the medical field has been taking strides in various other aspects of human physiology and devising various new materials to help the human society heal. But till those materials are economically available to all, the tape and mesh continue to help the healing process.
