Absorbable polyester fibers, braids, and surgical meshes with prolonged strength retention have been developed. These devices are preferably derived from biocompatible copolymers or homopolymers of 4~-hydroxybutyrate. These devices provide a wider range of in vivo strength retention properties than are currently available, and could offer additional benefits such as anti- adhesion properties, reduced risks of infection or other post-operative problems resulting from absorption and eventual elimination of the device, and competitive cost. The devices may also be particularly suitable for use in pediatric populations where their absorption should not hinder growth, and provide in all patient populations wound healing with long-term mechanical stability. The devices may additionally be combined with autologous, allogenic and/or xenogenic tissues to provide implants with improved mechanical, biological and handling properties.

L'invention concerne la formation de fibres, de tresses et de mailles chirurgicales de polyester absorbable conservant leurs propriétés de résistance plus longtemps. Ces dispositifs sont, de préférence, dérivés de copolymères ou d'homopolymères biocompatibles de 4--hydroxybutyrate. Lesdits dispositifs présentent une plus grande diversité de propriétés de résistance in vivo que les dispositifs classiques, et présentent des avantages supplémentaires tels que des propriétés anti-adhérence, des risques réduits d'infection ou d'autres problèmes post-opératoires résultant de l'absorption et de l'élimination ultérieure du dispositif, et un coût compétitif. Ces dispositifs sont également particulièrement adaptés pour être utilisés en pédiatrie, leur absorption n'empêchant pas la croissance, et favorisent chez tous les patients la cicatrisation des plaies avec une stabilité mécanique à long terme. Lesdits dispositifs peuvent, de plus, être combinés à des tissus autologues, allogéniques et/ou xénogéniques afin d'obtenir des implants présentant des propriétés mécaniques, biologiques et de manipulation améliorées.
