RxFibresorb™ is
a resorbable or biodegradable thermoplastic which means it is a
thermally or melt extruded fiber which will break down in the body.
The fiber forming process is passing the molten polymer through a
spinneret. The spinneret forms the shape of fiber. The yarn can be
further processed (woven, braided or knitted) into a structure for
a medical device.
