1. A resorbable scar-tissue reduction micro-membrane system for attenuating or preventing 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 system having a pre-implant configuration, which is defined as a configuration of the system immediately before the system is formed between the post-surgical site and the adjacent surrounding tissue, the system comprising a substantially planar membrane of resorbable polymer base material having a first substantially-smooth side and a second substantially-smooth side, the substantially planar membrane of resorbable polymer base material comprising a single layer of resorbable polymer base material between the first substantially-smooth side and the second substantially-smooth side, the single layer of resorbable polymer base material including (a) at least one hydrophobic block with one or more of a lactide and a glycolide and (b) at least one hydrophilic blocks with a polyethylene glycol, and further including a form of one or more of a triblock copolymer and a starblock copolymer.
