Abstract
A device including a body (12) including fibers without oxidized cellulose. The body (12) also includes fibers containing oxidized cellulose.
Claims16
A medical device intended to come into contact with a patient's tissue, the device comprising:
- a body having fibers provided without oxidized cellulose, the fibers without oxidized cellulose being non-resorptive, the body further including fibers containing oxidized cellulose, the fibers containing oxidized cellulose being resorptive, at least part of the fibers provided without oxidized cellulose being assembled with the fibers containing oxidized cellulose to form at least one composite thread, the composite thread being braided, woven or knitted, to form the body.
A method of manufacturing a medical device intended to come into contact with a patient's tissue, comprising the step of:
- producing a body including fibers without oxidized cellulose, the fibers without oxidized cellulose being non resorptive, and fibers comprising oxidized cellulose, the fibers comprising oxidized cellulose being resorptive, the producing of the body including:
- providing fibers without oxidized cellulose and fibers comprising cellulose intended to be oxidized;
- forming the body from fibers provided without oxidized cellulose and cellulose fibers intended to be oxidized;
- and
- selective oxidation of the cellulose fibers intended to be oxidized, after formation of the body to form the oxidized cellulose.
