An implantable bioresorbable membrane for the separation and regeneration of tissue in a defect site and augmentation of tissues surrounding other implants comprises: (a) porous bioresorbable polymer matrix made of a bioresorbable polymer selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), polycarprolactone, polyparadioxanone, polytrimethylene carbonate and a mixture thereof; and (b) a reinforcing fabric made of bioresorbable fibers embedded in said matrix, and is produced by preparing a fabric as a support from bioresorbable fibrous materials, coating the fabric with a solution containing a bioresorbable polymer and a pore forming agent, and treating the coated fabric to generate pores. |
