Bioresorbable protective sheet made from polylactide: a copolymer of 70:30 Poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide). To be used as a pericardium replacement device in patients that may require re-operation within six months.
An implantable material (e.g., flat sheet) made from a bioabsorbable synthetic polymer(s) [e.g., polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyglycolide] intended for extra-gynaecological, non-dental tissue repair/reinforcement application(s) [e.g., pericardial reinforcement, plastic surgery, abdominal hernia repair]. It may also be intended as a short-term scaffold for tissue regeneration. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be supplied with the mesh.
