Implantation of surgical meshes composed of synthetic and biological materials has been applied for abdominal wall defect repair. Despite many efforts, there are no reliable meshes that fully satisfy clinical requirements because of their lack of biodegradability, mechanical strength, and tissue-adhesive properties. Here, we report biodegradable, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based biological patches to treat abdominal wall defects. By incorporating a water-insoluble supramolecular gelator that forms physical cross-linking networks through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, dECM patches were reinforced to improve mechanical strength. Reinforced dECM patches possessed higher tissue adhesion strength and underwater stability compared with the original dECM because of enhanced interfacial adhesion strength. In vivo experiments using an abdominal wall defect rat model showed that reinforced dECM patches induced collagen deposition and the formation of blood vessels during material degradation, and the accumulation of CD68-positive macrophages was suppressed compared to nonbiodegradable synthetic meshes. Tissue-adhesive and biodegradable dECM patches with improved mechanical strength by a supramolecular gelator have enormous potential for use in the repair of abdominal wall defects.
