Abstract

An implant (100) for tissue repair includes a support member (105), a flexible member (110) coupled to the support member (105), and a substrate (115) coupled to the support member (105). The substrate (115) includes a material capable of being seeded with and supporting the proliferation of cells. The support member is capable of distributing a load throughout the flexible member. The flexible member (110) includes parallel elongate elements (112) and the support member (105) serves to maintain a spacing (L) between the parallel elongate elements (112).
