1-17. (canceled)
A mesh comprising:
- at least one bioabsorbable fiber and at least one slowly bioabsorbable fiber;
- wherein the bioabsorbable fiber and the slowly bioresorbable fiber are combined to form an absorbable mesh, the absorbable mesh having an X-direction and a perpendicular Y-direction;
- wherein the absorbable mesh comprises pores formed by the slowly bioresorbable fiber, and the bioabsorbable fiber is interwoven around and reinforces the pores, and a plurality of the pores are characterized as having an average diameter;
- and
- wherein the average diameter of the pores changes by less than 5% after removal of the bioabsorbable fiber.
