BIOCOMPATIBLE ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A process for making an antimicrobial composition comprising:
a) providing a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester;
b) providing an antimicrobial component incorporated therein, selected from the group consisting of: cationic antimicrobial amine compounds; antimicrobial lipids having a solubility in water of no greater than 0.5 g per 100 g deionized water; and combinations thereof,
wherein the antimicrobial component is present in an amount greater than 1 percent by weight of the aliphatic polyester; and
c) mixing the aliphatic polyester of a) in melt form with the antimicrobial component of b).
