Abstract: An implant, in particular for the treatment and/or biological reconstruction of a bone defect, includes osteoconductive supporting bodies and a supporting sheath at least partially surrounding the osteoconductive supporting bodies. The sheath can be formed of a sheath material or can consist of a sheath material that is soluble in water or in water-containing liquids. A kit and method for the treatment and/or biological reconstruction of a bone defect can utilize a sheath for osteoconductive supporting bodies and a material for sheathing the osteoconductive supporting bodies.

Abstract: An absorbent medical body for removing wound fluids from human and/or animal body cavities includes a material which holds the absorbent body together in a compressed form and can be removed upon contact with a biocompatible liquid.

Abstract: A surgical suture material includes a drawn elongate main body and barbs adapted to anchor in human and/or animal tissues, wherein the barbs are partially in drawn form.

Abstract: A drawn surgical suture material includes an elongate main body and barbs for anchoring in biological tissues, wherein the barbs are formed by cuts made into the suture material in the undrawn state.

Abstract: A package in the form of a bag containing a medical product, in particular for use in the regenerative treatment of cartilage damage in humans or animals, the package having a component preferably in the form of a port, to fill the package with a liquid, preferably a cell-containing liquid.

Abstract: A surgical thread includes a polymeric core and a polymeric sheath surrounding the core, wherein the sheath includes barbs for anchoring in human and/or animal, tissues.

Abstract: Thread for use as a knotless or self-fixing surgical suture material including a main body, and anchoring structures formed on a surface of the main body of the thread and anchored in human or animal tissues, wherein at least some of the anchoring structures are at least partially covered by a coating of the main body of the thread, which coating is removable by liquids.

Abstract: An elastomeric thread for use as a knotless or self-fixating wound closure system includes on its surface anchoring structures for anchoring in biological, more particularly human and/or animal, tissues.

Abstract: A drawn surgical suture material includes an elongate main body and barbs for anchoring in biological tissues, wherein the barbs are formed by cuts made into the suture material in the undrawn state.

Abstract: An absorbent medical body for removing wound fluids from human and/or animal body cavities includes a material which holds the absorbent body together in a compressed form and can be removed upon contact with a biocompatible liquid.

Abstract: A surgical suture material having a surface with anchoring elements made of a shape-memory polymer.
