Claim Text:
1. An absorbable, permeability-modulated barrier composite comprising: at least three physicochemically distinct components; one component comprising a flexible film having a thickness of less than 200 microns, the film comprising a synthetic absorbable polymer, a second component comprising a knitted mesh and a third component comprising an electrostatically spun, non-woven microfibrous fabric, and wherein the flexible film is adjoined directly to the knitted mesh which is adjoined directly to the microfibrous fabric to form a three component layered composite; wherein the knitted mesh comprises an absorbable block copolymer comprising a block derived only from trimethylene carbonate and terminal segments derived from glycolide; and wherein the flexible film is made of a polyaxial copolyester derived from at least two monomers selected from the group consisting of glycolide, l-lactide, ε-caprolactone, trimethylene carbonate, p-dioxanone, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one, and a morpholinedione.
