1. A bioabsorbable polymer composition consisting of:
(a) from 65 to 70 percent by weight of a copolymer, based on the weight of said bioabsorbable polymer composition, wherein said copolymer is selected from the group consisting of poly l-lactide:co-glycolide, poly l-lactide:d,l-lactide, and mixtures thereof; and (b) from 30 to 35 percent by weight of a ceramic filler, based on the weight of the bioabsorbable polymer composition, wherein said ceramic filler consists of calcium sulphate and optionally tricalcium phosphate. |
