Abstract:
Thread for use as a knotless or self-fixing surgical suture material including a main body, and anchoring structures formed on a surface of the main body of the thread and anchored in human or animal tissues, wherein at least some of the anchoring structures are at least partially covered by a coating of the main body of the thread, which coating is removable by liquids.
Abstract:
A thread includes an elongate thread body having on its surface protruding anchoring structures that anchor in biological tissues, and a stiffening coating on the anchoring structures.
Abstract:
A surgical thread includes a polymeric core and a polymeric sheath surrounding the core, wherein the sheath includes barbs for anchoring in human and/or animal, tissues.
Abstract:
A tension-free elastic tape is used for the surgical treatment of female urinary incontinence. The tape has a textile structure that allows ingrowth of the tape into the connective tissue. On its longitudinal edges, the tape has edge threads (2, 4, 6, 8) that project from the textile structure of the tape and that especially facilitate a good primary anchoring of the tape in the tissue. The edge threads are firmly incorporated in the structure of the tape.
Abstract:
A drawn surgical suture material includes an elongate main body and barbs for anchoring in biological tissues, wherein the barbs are formed by cuts made into the suture material in the undrawn state.
Abstract:
A flat implant, particularly a hernia mesh, has the form of a textile net having an opening and made from non-resorbable monofilament yarns. The net includes yarns of different thicknesses which run parallel to each other.
Abstract:
A medical device includes yarns made of a shape memory material and polymer yarns, wherein the yarns made of said shape memory material include polymer sheathing.
Abstract:
An elastomeric thread for use as a knotless or self-fixating wound closure system includes on its surface anchoring structures for anchoring in biological, more particularly human and/or animal, tissues.
Abstract:
A drawn surgical suture material includes an elongate main body and barbs for anchoring in biological tissues, wherein the barbs are formed by cuts made into the suture material in the undrawn state.
Abstract:
A medical product including a biocompatible material includes two mutually opposite main surfaces, wherein at least one of the two main surfaces that anchor biological tissues, wherein the barbs protrude from the at least one main surface and are formed by cuts made in the biocompatible material, and wherein the material between the two main surfaces is completely broken through in an area of the cuts.
