1. A method for forming a barbed suture comprising an elongate body provided with barbs extending substantially radially out from said elongate body, said method comprising the following steps: a) producing a knit on a warp knitting machine comprising at least two guide bars, a first guide bar B1 and a second guide bar B2, by knitting together i) a set of chain stitch yarns of a first biocompatible material threaded in said first guide bar B1 and producing chain stitches andii) a set of monofilament weft yarns of a second biocompatible material threaded in said second guide bar B2, the a knitting pattern followed by the second guide bar B2 producing at least a partial weft in which said monofilament weft yarns complete weft stitches with at least one of said chain stitches, thereby producing at least one weft stitched chain stitch,b) cutting the knit along the warp direction on both sides of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch, so as to isolate said weft stitched chain stitch from the rest of the knit, the chain stitch yarn of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch forming said elongate body of said barbed suture and the monofilament weft yarns cuts being cut and extending from said weft stitches of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch forming said barbs of said barbed suture. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the knitting pattern followed by the second guide bar B2 produces at least a partial weft in which said monofilament weft yarns complete weft stitches with a plurality of chain stitches, thereby producing a plurality of weft stitched chain stitches, and wherein the cutting of step b) is repeated for each weft stitched chain stitch, thereby producing a plurality of barbed sutures. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein during step a), said second guide bar B2 is fed intermittently with said set of monofilament weft yarns. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said first guide bar B1 is threaded 1 full, 1 empty along a whole width of the machine. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the knitting pattern followed by the second guide bar B2 produces a partial weft in which said monofilament weft yarns complete from about 4 to about 15 weft stitches/cm along a length of each said weft stitched chain stitch. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising a stretching step during which either the knit produced in step a) or the isolated weft stitched chain stitch (resulting from step b) is submitted to a stretching treatment. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the isolated weft stitched chain stitch is submitted to a twisting treatment. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising a heat-setting step during which either the knit produced in step a) or the isolated weft stitched chain stitch resulting from step b) is submitted to a heat-setting treatment. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first biocompatible material and the second biocompatible material are each selected from the group consisting in polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester such as polyethylene terephthalates, polyamide, silicone, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyarylether ether ketone (PAEK) polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polydioxanone (PDO), trimethylene carbonate (TMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), copolymers of these materials, and mixtures thereof. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second biocompatible material is polypropylene. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the chain stitch yarns are multifilament yarns. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the chain stitch yarns are polyethylene multifilament yarns having a tensile strength ranging from about 25 cN/dTex to about 40 cN/dTex. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the monofilament weft yarns show a diameter ranging from 0.07 mm to 0.3 mm. 14. The method of claim 1 wherein a knitting pattern followed by bars B1 and B2 is the following according to the ISO 11676 standard: Bar B1: 0.1/0.1/1.0/1.0//Bar B2: 0.0/4.5/9.9/5.4//wherein B1 is threaded 1 full, 3 empty, and B2 is threaded 1 full, 7 empty, along the whole width of the machine. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the a knitting pattern followed by bars B1 and B2 is the following according to the ISO 11676 standard: Bar B1: 0.1/1.0//Bar B2: 9.9/5.4/0.0/0.0/4.5/9.9//wherein B1 is threaded 1 full, 3 empty, and B2 is threaded 1 full, 7 empty, along the whole width of the machine. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the chain stitch yarns are polyethylene multifilament yarns having a tensile strength of about 35 cN/dTex. 17. A method for forming a barbed suture comprising an elongate body provided with barbs extending substantially radially out from said elongate body, said method comprising: a) knitting together a set of chain stitch yarns of a first biocompatible material and a set of monofilament weft yarns of a second biocompatible material to form a knit, wherein the monofilament weft yarns complete weft stitches with at least one of the set of chain stitch yarns thereby producing at least one weft stitched chain stitch,b) cutting the knit along a warp direction on both sides of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch, so as to form cut monofilament weft yarns on both sides of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch, the chain stitch yarn of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch forming said elongate body of said barbed suture and the cut monofilament weft yarns extending from said weft stitches of said at least one weft stitched chain stitch forming said barbs of said barbed suture. 18. The method of claim 17 further comprising stretching, twisting, or both of the at least one weft stitched chain stitch to position the cut monofilament weft yarns in a desired configuration. 19. The method of claim 18 further comprising heat-setting the at least one weft stitched chain stitch to fix the barbed suture in a set configuration.
