Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a resorbable surgical meshwork constituted by an assembly of at least two biocompatible resorbable threads of different nature of which one is based on regenerated oxidized cellulose, and the other one is a polyglycolic type synthetic material. It also relates to its surgical use. The invention also extends to prostheses made from this meshwork and to its surgical use.
