    • The present invention provides, in one aspect, a suture (100) for cosmetic surgery, aesthetic surgery or soft tissue fixation comprising a bioresorbable elongate filament structure (102) having first and second ends (104, 106); at least 10 bioresorbable elements (108) suitable for subcutaneous tissue engagement when in use, received movably upon the filament structure; wherein each of the elements is of a frusto- conical shape with a narrower end (202) and a broader end (204), having a hollow interior therethrough (206) enlarging outwardly toward the broader end, with the filament structure passing through said hollow interior; at least 12 protrusions (110) disposed along the filament structure; wherein each of the protrusions has a greater diameter than that of the hollow interior at the narrower end of each of the elements; and a first and a second needle (112, 114), coupled respectively to the first and second ends of the filament structure; wherein the elements and protrusions are disposed along the filament structure as spatially-separated first and second sets (116, 118), each of at least 5 elements and at least 6 protrusions; wherein the first set is proximal to the first needle and distal to the second needle, and wherein the second set is proximal to the second needle and distal to the first needle; wherein the elements are orientated in a bidirectional manner such that, when the filament structure is taut, the narrower ends of the elements in the first and second sets are orientated towards the first and second needles, respectively characterised in that, when the filament structure is taut, the length of filament structure between the narrower ends of the elements nearest to the first and second needles, when said elements are in the furthest position from their respective proximal needles that is allowed by the configuration of the suture (120, 122), and the points at which the filament structure is coupled to said needles (124, 126), is at least 10 cm (128, 130).
