FIELD: abdominal surgery.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to manufacturing prostheses for abdominal surgery based on synthetic polymeric complex threads with coating, whose composition, in order to impart antimicrobial properties to allotransplant, is completed with various-type chemiotherapeutical materials, in particular antiseptic substance (Poviargol). Prosthesis of invention is designed for plastics of hernial defects of abdominal wall. Mesh prosthesis with antimicrobial properties for hernioplasty is manufactured as follows: polymeric composite consisting of (i) Poviargol substance, which is metal-polymer composition of ultrafine metallic silver stabilized with synthetic polymer Collidon, 40-45%, and (ii) medical-grade high-molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone, 55-60%, is applied onto synthetic polymer mesh, after which mesh with dispersion applied thereon is dried by way of blowing with hot air (60-80°C) for 20-30 min.

EFFECT: simplified manufacturing procedure and enhanced antimicrobial efficiency.
