A tissue approximation device and method, particularly in the mid-face region, are provided. The device is an implantable, biodegradable construct that has attachment points emanating from a supportive backing. The device also has an extension member or leash which extends from the backing which is configured to receive a tissue or bone attachment device at one of a plurality of selectable locations along the elongated member, for example via engagement holes extending in a line away from the backing. Once tissue is engaged with the attachment points, the extension member is pulled until the tissue is approximated in the desired position. Then the appropriate extension member hole(s) are selected to attach the extension member to supportive tissue or bone (for example temporal fascia) for permanent tissue approximation.

Un dispositif et un procédé d'approximation d'un tissu, particulièrement dans la région médiane de la face. Le dispositif est un agencement implantable et biodégradable présentant des points de fixation émanant d'un support. Le dispositif présente également un élément d'extension ou encroix s'étendant depuis le support configuré de manière à recevoir un dispositif de fixation d'un tissu ou d'un os au niveau d'une pluralité d'emplacements sélectionnables le long de l'élément allongé, notamment au moyen d'orifices d'insertion s'étendant dans une ligne séparée du support. Une fois le tissu inséré dans les points de fixation, l'élément d'extension est tiré jusqu'à ce que le tissu soit rapproché de la position souhaitée. Ensuite, l'orifice (les orifices) de l'élément d'extension adéquat(s) et (sont) sélectionné(s) de manière à fixer l'élément d'extension sur le tissu ou l'os de support (par exemple l'aponévrose temporale) en vue d'une approximation tissulaire permanente.
