“…Останні досягнення в матеріалознавстві призвели до розробки хірургічних сіток з експериментальними покриттями, такими як титан та тантал, спрямованих на покращення біосумісності сіток і зменшення ускладнень, пов'язаних з розвитком оксидативного стресу [4]. Танталові покриття славляться своєю стійкістю до корозії та біосумісністю, пропонують багатообіцяючі результати в хірургічних, стоматологічних та ортопедичних застосуваннях [5]. Подібним чином у 2020 році було досліджено потенціал нітриду та оксиду танталу покращувати механічні та хімічні властивості хірургічних сіток, сприяють зменшенню запальної реакції та покращенню інтеграції в тканини [6].…”

For the past 10 years, specialists in hernioplasty have noted that there is a problem with the occurrence of an adhesion process after the implantation of surgical meshes. In the future, tantalum-based coatings may become an inhibitor of the development of adhesion and inflammatory processes after surgical mesh implantation. The aim of our study was to determine the state of the antioxidant system by the activity of superoxide dismutase 1 and catalase in the blood of rats after implantation of surgical meshes coated on the basis of tantalum, tantalum oxide and tantalum nitride. After acclimatization, which lasted 21 days, the experimental animals were divided into 6 groups by random sampling: the first (intact) group included 6 rats. The second group included 6 rats that underwent surgery, but without implementation of a surgical mesh. The third group included 7 rats with an implanted surgical mesh coated with tantalum. The fourth group included 7 rats with an implanted surgical mesh covered with tantalum oxide. The fifth group includes 7 rats with an implanted surgical mesh covered with tantalum nitride. The sixth group included 7 rats with an implanted surgical mesh without a coating. To achieve the goal, 40 laboratory rats were implanted with surgical meshes between the abdominal wall and various sections of the large intestine. After 28 days, the activity of SuperOxide Dismutase 1 (SOD 1) and catalase was determined in the blood of the animals. SOD 1 activity was statistically 126.3% higher, and catalase activity was 92.5% higher in the experimental group with surgical mesh without coating. SOD 1 activity was 126.6% higher and catalase activity was 100.0% higher in the experimental group with tantalum nitride coated surgical mesh. In the groups implanted with polypropylene surgical meshes coated with tantalum and tantalum oxide, the activity of SOD 1 was higher by 86.2% and 97.1%, respectively, and the activity of catalase was higher by 70.3% and 67.6%, respectively. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that coatings made of tantalum and tantalum oxide demonstrate high biocompatibility in comparison with the results of a group of experimental animals that were implanted with a surgical mesh without a coating. The use of tantalum and tantalum oxide coatings provides a protective effect of the implant against oxidative damage, which indicates their potential to improve the effectiveness of the use of surgical meshes. Keywords: tantalum oxide, superoxide dismutase 1, catalase.
