Abstract:
Novel semi-crystalline, p-dioxanone-rich ABA triblock copolymers of p-dioxanone and epsilon-caprolactone, where “B” block is a random copolymer of p-dioxanone and epsilon-caprolactone, and absorbable devices for long term medical applications are disclosed. The novel polymer compositions are useful for long term absorbable surgical sutures, and other medical devices.
