Is Polypropylene Bladder Sling Safe To Use Inside The Body?

Hi I am wondering about the polypropylene bladder sling. Is this material safe to use inside the body. I have read accounts of the material eroding (deteriorating?) over time. Does this mean no matter who gets implanted with this polypropylene the material will erode . Is this procedure as bad as it sounds?

Polypropylene is in any way a foreign body in your system. The doctor who has recommended must have seen report from all over the world about acceptability. This must be best available now. So wait till the signs of rejection. Consult the doctor.He can recommend medicine for acceptability of foreign body.
