Segmented, Semicrystalline Poly(Lactide-co-epsilon-Caprolactone) Absorbable Copolymers

摘要

Novel semi-crystalline, segmented copolymers of lactide and epsilon-caprolactone exhibiting long term absorption characteristics are disclosed. The novel polymer compositions are useful for long term absorbable meshes, surgical sutures, especially monofilament sutures, and other medical devices.
