Abstract

See full text

A mesh or gauze of a bioabsorbable material is used to temporarily correct a defect in a living body. The mesh is of a construction sufficient so that biological tissue in the area of the defect can grow into it and form a long-term biological tissue correction structure before the mesh is completely bioabsorbed. The long-term biological tissue correction structure forms a substantially permanent correction of the defect. The mesh is normally sutured or otherwise fastened in position to correct the defect and is maintained in that position for a time sufficient for the long-term biological tissue correction structure to form and for the mesh to be completely bioabsorbed.
