Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A family of selectively absorbable/biodegradable, fibrous composite constructs includes different combinations of biostable and absorbable/biodegradable yarns assembled as initially interdependent, load-bearing components, transitioning to exhibit independent functional properties during in vivo end-use. The family of constructs consists of two groups, one group is made of fiber-reinforced composites of high compliance, absorbable matrices of segmented polyaxial copolyesters reinforced with multifilament yarn constructs, which are combinations of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers and at least one absorbable/biodegradable fiber selected from silk fibers and multifilament yarns made from linear segmented, l-lactide copolyesters and poly (3-hydroxyalkanoates, are useful in orthopedic, maxillofacial, urological, vascular, hernial repair and tissue engineering applications. The second group is made of coated and uncoated, warp-knitted mesh constructs for use in hernial, vascular, and urological tissue repair and tissue engineering.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An absorbable/biodegradable implant, fibrous composite construct comprising a fiber-reinforced matrix, the fiber-reinforced matrix comprising a biodegradable, segmented, polyaxial copolyester, the fiber-reinforced matrix comprising from about 10 percent to about 40 percent by weight of the absorbable/biodegradable implant, fibrous composite construct, the fiber-reinforced matrix further comprising i) a reinforcement comprising less than 40 percent by weight…
