Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a length adaptive surgical suture comprising a monofilament or a braid of a plurality of filaments, the suture having an original length when implanted and a second length that is different from the original length within a first twenty-four (24) hour period of time after implantation to accommodate tissue swelling. The present invention is also directed to configurations and combinations that enable length adaptive results.
