A bioabsorbable material suitable for implanting within a human body, the material including fibres of a composite of a synthetic bioabsorbable polymer such as poly-lactic acid, and a particulate bioactive filler such as calcium phosphate powder. The fibres are discontinuous with non uniform cross sections and non uniform cross sectional areas. The surface topography provided by the fibres provides a substrate which is more amenable to cellular colonisation than prior materials. |
