The invention relates to a resorbable multifilament (20 40) comprising a number of individual resorbable filaments of a first type (21 41) having a first degradation time and a number of individual resorbable filaments of a second type (22 42) having a second degradation time, wherein the filaments of the first type and the filaments of the second type are arranged in close relationship to form a composite multifilament having a length and a specific composite cross-section comprising cross-sections of the individual filaments of the first type and second type, wherein the cross-sections of the individual filaments of the first and second type are located at determined relative positions, wherein the relative positions amongst the individual cross-sections of the filaments of the first and second types are invariant over the length of the composite multifilament.
