  • Publication number: 20200268945
    Abstract: A resorbable polymeric mesh implant whose implant configuration varies over time after implantation for use in breast reconstruction, wherein the resorbable polymeric mesh implant comprises at least a first material and a last-degraded material, wherein the last-degraded material is substantially degraded at a later point in time in the body than the first material. The modulus of elasticity of the last-degraded material is significantly lower than the modulus of elasticity of the first material. The last-degraded material has a modulus of elasticity that corresponds to an elongation of 18 to 32% when subjected to a tensile load of 16 N/cm. The resorbable polymeric mesh implant is tubular and configured to retain a breast implant.

  • Publication number: 20190282351
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a resorbable polymeric mesh implant, that is intended to be used in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects. The mesh implant has at least a first and a second material, wherein the second material is substantially degraded at a later point in time than the first material following the time of implantation. The mesh implant is adapted to have a predetermined modulus of elasticity that gradually is decreased until the mesh implant is completely degraded and subsequently resorbed. Due to the gradual decrease in the modulus of elasticity of the inventive mesh implant, the regenerating tissue may gradually take over the load applied to the tissue defect area. Interstices between individual filaments of multifilaments create a capillary effect for cells within the body.
