MEDICAL DEVICES HAVING POLYMERIC REGIONS WITH COPOLYMERS CONTAINING HYDROCARBON AND HETEROATOM-CONTAINING MONOMERIC SPECIES

摘要

According to an aspect of the present invention, implantable or insertable medical devices are provided, which contain one or more polymeric regions. These polymeric regions, in turn, contain one or more polymers, at least one of which is a copolymer that includes the following: (a) one or more unsaturated hydrocarbon monomer species and (b) one or more heteroatom-containing monomer species.
