| Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to electrically weldable suture materials and apparatuses and methods for forming weld suture loops and other welded structures. A device for positioning within a body of an animal, the device comprising a first portion and a second portion that can be positioned in contact with each other, the first portion and the second portion each comprising a biocompatible electrically conductive thermoplastic material, the device comprises a first portion and a second portion, such that when the device is positioned within the body of an animal and an electrical current flows from the first portion to the second portion, heat is generated by electrical resistance at a contact point between the first portion and the second portion in order to melt regions of the first portion and the second portion, and when the electrical current is terminated later, heat is generated by electrical resistance at a contact point between the first portion and the second portion in order to melt the regions of the fi |
