A soft-tissue/mesh anchor, bioabsorbable is a medical device implanted into ligaments or soft tissues to approximate tissues or serve as an attachment point for surgical mesh or sutures. These anchors are made from polymers that naturally degrade in the body over time through chemical processes.
Devices in this category are typically supplied with specialized applicators for implantation and come in various designs such as screw-, punch-, or staple-like forms. They are regulated as medical devices and are not intended for ophthalmic use, bone anchoring, or cartilage repair.
