Patent ID: 8349795

Claim:
A system, comprising: a resorbable scar reduction membrane for attenuating a formation of post-surgical scar tissue between a healing post-surgical site and adjacent surrounding tissue following an in vivo surgical procedure on the post-surgical site, the resorbable scar reduction membrane having a pre-implant configuration that is defined as a configuration of the implant immediately before the implant is formed between the post-surgical site and the adjacent surrounding tissue, the resorbable scar reduction membrane having a first substantially-smooth side and a second substantially-smooth side; the resorbable scar reduction membrane comprising a layer of resorbable polymer base material between the first substantially-smooth side and the second substantially-smooth side, the layer of resorbable polymer base material having a substantially uniform composition, a thickness of the layer of resorbable polymer base material, measured between the first substantially-smooth side and the second substantially-smooth side, being between 10 microns and 300 microns; and another membrane, which comprises a thickness less than 2000 microns and which is permeable.
