Abstract
Composite prosthesis, comprising a non-absorbable prosthetic fabric and at least one film made of a material which is absorbable in vivo, combined with one surface of the prosthetic fabric. In combination, the prosthetic fabric has a three-dimensional structure separating its two surfaces, at least one of which is open to all post-surgical cell colonization, and the film of absorbable material is linked at least superficially to the other surface of said fabric.
