be shared between the mesh and surrounding tissue without experiencing premature deformation 3 accommodate the biomechanical events associated with wound healing and tissue shrinkage as well as incremental dynamic stresses due to regular motions of active patients through an incremental increase in the engineering compliance of the mesh and 4 have a carefully warp knitted construction that accommodates mechanical changes at the implant site while resisting tearing and breaking unraveling at the tissue mesh interface and or within the mesh construct itself in concert with the aforementioned discussion the present invention addresses the requirements set forth for an optimal mesh similarly it addresses the requirements of an optimum suture that is expected to provide an effective ligation for three to four weeks as well as up to a few months following implantation as would be required for wound repairs of compromised and slow healing tissues a key general aspect of this invention is directed to a warp knitted composite mesh with minimum density of 50 g m 2 to ensure having adequate mass and strength to allow anchoring to the natural tissue using a suture and or absorbable adhesive without tearing unraveling and or breaking immediately after placement and during the first few weeks of functional performance this is to prevent mechanical failure at the tissue mesh interface or within the mesh components for anchoring the mesh to the biological site an absorbable suture of choice will be expected to maintain a strength retention profile that parallels that of a long lasting component of the composite mesh meanwhile the composite mesh is expected to comprise 1 a slow absorbing biodegradable multifilament yarn component having individual filament diameter of less.
