ABSTRACT:
An implant for repair of a tissue defect which implant comprises a physiologically compatible load-bearing member having an element for securing under tension tissue adjacent to the defect to be repaired, an element for supporting a tissue reparative cell mass in the defect and a tissue reparative cell mass supported thereby. The implant can be a suture material having a cell containing matrix surrounding a central portion thereof. The matrix is preferably a gel or other material which the cells cause to contract, thereby drawing together the tissues surrounding the defect to which the implant is attached.
