The pores in the mesh allow the dissolving drug to move from the basket into the holding vessel, creating a uniform solution.

Why surfactant used in dissolution?

Surfactants are helpful when dealing with poorly water soluble drugs. They increase wetting of hydrophobic drugs by lowering interfacial tensions between the solid drug particles and the dissolution media. At higher amounts above the CMC (critical micelle concentration), they increase the solubility of the drug itself.
