Shrinkage of all samples were recorded and all samples were evaluated for inflammatory response and scar plate formation by light microscopies. Each of these two categories was graded on a scale of Ⅰ-Ⅳ according to GB/T16886.6-1997. All measurement data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance with P<0.05 as significant. Results infection occurred in one of the rabbits during 14 post-operation days. There is no infection,erosion or exposure in other rabbits. Shrinkage of the meshes in the infectious rabbit (group A1)is 21.8%±0.05%, while in the others was 3.1%±0.03%、2.3%±0.03%、2.5%±0.03% at the post-operative 14th day (group A2), 30th day and 60th day, respectively. There was significant difference between group A1 and group A2 (P<0.05),and no significant difference between group A2、group B and group C (P>0.05). Inflammatory reaction was level Ⅲ,levelⅡ,<level Ⅰand <levelⅠ at group A2, group B ,group C and control group, respectively. Fiber capsule formation was level Ⅲ,levelⅡ,<level Ⅰand <levelⅠ.Conclusion Shrinkage was little and tend to be stable along with time. Infection may be an important factor of shrinkage. Prolift mesh presents excellent biocompability in the rabbit model. 【keywords】prolift mesh,biocompability,shrinkage
