ABSTRACT:
This invention provides for an improved implantable prosthetic device and in particular to a prosthetic ligament or tendon. One process provides for a means by which tensile loads may be transferred from one-load bearing member of the prosthesis to another so that damage at different sites is isolated. Another process provides a means by which the prosthesis is more abrasion resistant.
