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 thread includes an elongate thread body having on its surface protruding anchoring structures that anchor in biological tissues, and a stiffening coating on the anchoring structures.

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: A medical product including a biocompatible material includes two mutually opposite main surfaces, wherein at least one of the two main surfaces that anchor biological tissues, wherein the barbs protrude from the at least one main surface and are formed by cuts made in the biocompatible material, and wherein the material between the two main surfaces is completely broken through in an area of the cuts.

Abstract: A surgical thread avoids puncture channel bleeding, and has a polymeric core and a polymeric sheath surrounding the polymeric core, wherein the polymeric sheath is swellable in bodily fluids.

Abstract: A suture material for surgery comprises one or more filaments and is formed with a coating, which is characterized in that the coating at least partly comprises a bioresorbable polymer, which is essentially formed from a random terpolymer with a completely amorphous structure.

Abstract: A triblock terpolymer with a structure ABA formed from a biodegradable hard segment A and a biodegradable soft segment B has as the soft segment a statistical terpolymer with a completely amorphous structure. A process for its production comprises chemically reacting the hard segment monomer with hydroxy terminal groups of the soft segment B. The absorbable polymer is suitable for the production of a surgical suture material, which is wholly or partly formed from the polymer.

Abstract: A resorbable polymer suitable for producing a medical product, comprising a triblock terpolymer with a structure ABA formed from a biodegradable hard segment A and a biodegradable soft segment B, has as the soft segment a statistical terpolymer with a completely amorphous structure. A process for its production comprises chemically reacting the hard segment monomer with hydroxy terminal groups of the soft segment B. The resorbable medical product produced from the triblock terpolymer can be a textile fabric, produced from multifilaments, a film, membrane or an injection molding.
