<p>A transitional mesh and thread for use in the human body is dissolved. The transitional mesh being comprised of sections of non-absorbable mesh fabric with sections of absorbable mesh fabric, such that each non-absorbable section is attached to absorbable mesh fabric. The non-absorbable mesh sections can be overlaid with absorbable mesh which after it is absorbed leaves the non-absorbable mesh in an array without connection to each other. The thread to be used to create the mesh has non-absorbable fibers that can be discontinuous, loosely woven or embedded in an absorbable material. The fabric mesh itself can be loosely woven and coated with absorbable material. The patterns of non-absorbable mesh and space between non-absorbable mesh sections can be varied to provide various strengths and degrees of motion and movement. The mesh can also be coated with materials to reduce infection, provide tissue growth, reduce scar tissue or other medicinal purposes.</p> |
