Contamination tolerance and long-term mechanical support are the two critical properties of meshes for contaminated abdominal wall defect repair. However, biological meshes with excellent pollution tolerance fail to provide bio-adaptive long-term mechanical support due to their rapid degradation. Here, a novel double-layer asymmetric porous mesh (SIS/PVA-EXO) is designed by simple and efficient in situ freeze-thaw of sticky polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution on the loosely porous surface of small intestinal submucosal decellularized matrix (SIS), which can successfully repair the contaminated abdominal wall defect with bio-adaptive dynamic mechanical support through only single-stage surgery. The exosome-loaded degradable loosely porous SIS layer accelerates the tissue healing; meanwhile, the exosome-loaded densely porous PVA layer can maintain long-term mechanical support without any abdominal adhesion. In addition, the tensile strength and strain at break of SIS/PVA-EXO mesh change gradually from 0.37 MPa and 210% to 0.10 MPa and 385% with the degradation of SIS layer. This unique performance can dynamically adapt to the variable mechanical demands during different periods of contaminated abdominal wall reconstruction. As a result, this SIS/PVA-EXO mesh shows an attractive prospect in the treatment of contaminated abdominal wall defect without recurrence by integrating local immune regulation, tissue remodeling, and dynamic mechanical supporting.
