Bioresorbable Polymers and Stent Devices
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017Percutaneous coronary interventions will never become obsolete, as evolution is inherent to interventional cardiology. Current drug-eluting platforms have appreciably improved their safety and efficacy profiles in different clinical settings compared to first-generation devices such that it is difficult to consider other alternatives. However, there is

Bioresorbable polymers in trauma and bone surgery
Injury, 2000During the last few decades interest in resorbable polymeric materials has been steadily increasing. As with other materials for implantable devices, they have to satisfy several biological and technical requirements. Implants should maintain adequate mechanical properties in vivo for the time required and degrade at an effective rate.

Calvarial Bone Distraction with a Contractile Bioresorbable Polymer
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2002The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibility of mobilizing calvarial bone with a fully implantable and bioresorbable device. The animal model used was the New Zealand white rabbit (n = 12). An island bone flap attached to the dura mater was created in the parietal region and amalgam markers were placed in this bone flap and in the ...

Trends in the Development of Bioresorbable Polymers for Medical Applications
Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 1992The gradual shift from biostable prostheses to degradable, temporary implants represents one of the most significant trends in biomaterials research. In view of this trend, medical applications of degradable implant materials were reviewed with special emphasis on orthopedic polymeric implants. Among the polymeric implant materials derived from natural

Bioresorbable Polymers and Their Chemical Degradation
Macromolecular SymposiaABSTRACT In the field of biomedicine, bioresorbable polymers have shown significant applications, especially in medication delivery and implantation. Biomedical materials need to have favorable biomechanical properties that are suited to their intended functions, as well as nontoxicity and biocompatibility.
