ABSORBABLE P-DIOXANONE POLYMER-DRUG COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Absorbable polymers derived from p-dioxanone are formulated with drugs and introduced into the body to provide a slow, sustained release of the drug over an extended period of time determined by the rate of absorption of the polymer. Polymers of p-dioxanone and methyl or ethyl substituted p-dioxanone are biodegradable in animal tissue and absorb with minimal adverse tissue reaction.
