摘要 |
Implantable medical articles having a coating formed of hydrophobic derivatives of natural biodegradable polysaccharides are described. The coatings can include a bioactive agent, and demonstrate desirable bioactive agent release profiles and can be prepared to have high drug loading. The coated implantable medical articles can be used to treat medical conditions, such as those requiring prolonged administration of the bioactive agent at a target location in the body.
