1. A resorbable polymeric mesh implant for use in reconstruction of soft tissue defects, comprising:

  • a first arrangement of resorbable material comprising fibers; and

    a second arrangement of resorbable material comprising fibers, the second arrangement of resorbable material being substantially degradable at a later point in time than the first arrangement of resorbable material,wherein the first arrangement of resorbable material is in contact with the second arrangement of resorbable material such that the first arrangement of resorbable material locks movement of the second arrangement of resorbable material by traversing apertures of the second arrangement of resorbable material to maintain relative distension of the mesh implant substantially constant following a time of implantation and until the first arrangement of resorbable material is substantially degraded,wherein after the first arrangement of resorbable material is substantially degraded, the relative distension of the mesh implant substantially increases,wherein the first arrangement of resorbable material is substantially degraded at a point in time within a time range of 2-40 days following implantation, andwherein the last substantially degraded arrangement of resorbable material is substantially degraded at a point in time within a time range of 3-18 months following implantation.
