Based on how<unk>  reacts inside the patient’s body, the implant is classified into 4 subtypes: * “Non-absorbable synthetic<unk> ” is made from synthetic materials, for example, plastic, polyester or polypropylene. It is most preferred by surgeons because of its compatibility with connective tissues, which increases repair efficacy and reduces the rate of infection. It can be further classified based on pore size to determine risk of infection and<unk>  exposure.<unk> es with pore sizes larger than 75μm are most commonly used for repair as they aid tissue incorporation and lower infection risk. * “Absorbable synthetic<unk> ” is made from synthetic materials, such as polyglactin and polyglycolic, and can be absorbed by the body. Tissues nearby will then grow at the implantation site, strengthening the ligaments in the pelvis region. * “Biologic<unk> ”, also known as graft, is made from natural products derived from disinfected animal tissues, such as tissues from cows and pigs. This<unk>  subtype only works temporarily as it degrades over time, leading to inconsistent tissue strength and a higher failure rate. It also carries a theoretical transmission risk of infectious disease. * “Composite<unk> ” is made from a combination of the above subtypes. The selection of<unk>  subtype to be placed in patients requires consideration of patients' preference and risk analysis, including evaluation of recurrence risk and complication risk by surgical personnel.
