Abstract: A bioresorbable device for implantation in the body of a patient for administering fluid and/or negative pressure to a treatment site. The device includes a bioresorbable resilient truss for holding two tissue surfaces spaced apart. The truss has two flexible elongate wall members wound in a manner to define a channel, the two elongate wall members intersecting each other periodically at a plurality of cross-over nodes. The truss also includes at least two flexible elongate bracing members, each bracing member being mechanically linked to the two elongate wall members at a plurality of the cross-over nodes.

Abstract: A device for implantation at a treatment site in the body of a patient for the removal of fluid from the treatment site. The device includes a conduit structure at least in part defining a fluid removal lumen, and a porous bioresorbable sheath surrounding a portion of the conduit structure. The conduit structure comprises a removable component configured for removal from the treatment site upon completion of treatment.
