IMPLANT PROCESSING METHODS FOR THERMALLY LABILE AND OTHER BIOACTIVE AGENTS AND IMPLANTS PREPARED FROM SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein are processes for preparing implants that are particularly useful for thermally labile bioactive agents but can also generally be used with any bioactive agent. The disclosed processes avoid the use of heat during processing and therefore avoid heat induced degradation of the bioactive agent. Also disclosed are implants prepared by the disclosed methods.
