Surgical resorbable devices with layered composite structure

Abstract

Abstract Surgical, resorbable osteosynthesis device or its component like plate, balk, nail, rod, bar or screw. The device or the like comprises a three-dimensional solid composite body which is manufactured of at least one resorbable polymer, copolymer or polymer alloy which device or component has layered composite structure. The device or component is constructed at least of tough and flexible at least partially resorbable polymeric surface layer (1) and of at least partially resorbable inner layer (2) which is substantially stiffer and harder than the surface layer. The device or the like may comprise an inner core (3) which is flexible and at least partially resorbable of its character.
