A surgical thread ( 10 ) has a first component ( 12 ) made of resorbable material and a second component ( 14 ) made of non-resorbable material and/or slowly resorbable material which is more slowly resorbable than the material of the first component. The second component ( 14 ) is arranged in the thread in a non-linear manner and, before the resorption of the first component ( 12 ), is dimensionally stabilized against tensile forces by the arrangement of the first component ( 12 ). |
