    摘要: A medicament containment device (106) is provided containing a medicament (114) and is associated with an implant, such as an orthopaedic implant (102). The medicament containment device (106) can degrade upon exposure to energy, such as energy (112) from an energy source (110). The orthopaedic implant (102), including the medicament containment device is implanted or inserted into an environment (100) such as a patient's body. The energy source (110) can be used outside the patient's body, but in proximity to the orthopaedic implant (102), to apply energy (112) to the medicament containment device (106). Upon exposure to the energy (112), the medicament containment device (106) can degrade and release the medicament (114) into the environment (100). The medicament (114) can kill and/or disrupt bacterial cells (108) or other infectious cells that form in proximity to the orthopaedic implant (102).

    摘要: An oriented implantable, biodegradable device is disclosed. The oriented implantable, biodegradable device is formed from a homogeneous polymer blend comprising a polylactic acid in admixture, in an amount of not more than 10% by weight of the polymer blend, with an additive which both plasticises polymer draw and is a degradation accelerant. The polymer comprised within the blend may be a uniaxial, biaxial or triaxial orientation. Also disclosed is a composite thereof, processes for the preparation thereof, and The implantable biodegradable device may be used as a high strength trauma fixation device suitable for implantation into the human or animal body. As examples, the high strength trauma fixation device may take the form of plates, screws, pins, rods, anchors or scaffolds.
