  • Resorbable surgical appliances and endoscopic soft tissue suspension procedure
    Patent number: 5611814
    Abstract: A resorbable surgical appliance for use in supporting soft tissue in a superior position in the body. The surgical appliance includes a coupling member that connects the surgical appliance to a bone or hard tissue and a gripping member or members secured to the coupling member selectively gripping soft tissue and retaining the soft tissue in a superior position. The connected coupling member and gripping member are formed from a resorbable mixture which maintains a specified percentage of the connection strength with the bone or hard tissue for a period of time at least equal to a healing period. Thereafter, the surgical appliance is substantially resorbed by the body over a period of time created for healing. The surgical appliance is particularly adapted for use in endoscopic brow lift surgery and other endoscopic cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures.
