摘要:
Multilayer polymeric materials in the form of a cap contain polymeric layers having distinctive anisotropic properties which are beneficially utilized in a subject, e.g., the multilayer polymeric materials are biocompatible and may be used, for example, to replace or supplement cartilage in an articulated joint. The present invention relates generally to multilayer polymeric materials, in particular to biomaterials suitable for implantation into a mammal or other animal, and methods of manufacturing the biomaterial and various uses thereof.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods, devices and compositions for degradable medical devices and/or compositions that provide local and/or systemic delivery of at least one active agent.
摘要:
Polymeric materials referred to herein as PEU include a plurality of linking groups selected from urea and urethane groups, and a plurality of segments located between adjacent linking groups, where at least some of the segments of the PEU are polyoxyalkylene, but other exemplary segments include hydrocarbons, polyesters, polycarbonates and polysiloxanes. The polymeric materials are biocompatible and may be used, for example, to replace or supplement cartilage in an articulated joint.
