| 摘要 |
A suture formed of loosely woven or expanded plastic material, one end of which is swaged to a suturing needle. Upon emplacement in the body, the suture acts initially to hold the tissues in place in a conventional manner. Thereafter it acts to bring about the formation by natural body processes of ligamentous tissue about the suture which supplements and virtually replaces the suture. The suture may be in small diameter tubular form or in small width flat form.
