23 Jul ABSORBABLE BRANCHED POLYESTERS AND POLYURETHANES
Abstract
The present invention relates to the discovery of a new class of hydrolysable isocyanates, hydrolysable branched polyols and branched absorbable polyesters and polyurethanes prepared therefrom. The resultant absorbable polymers are useful for drug delivery, stents, highly porous foam, reticulated foam, tissue engineering, tissue adhesives, adhesion prevention, bone wax formulations, medical device coatings, surface modifying agents and other implantable medical devices. In addition, these absorbable polymers can have a controlled hydrolytic degradation profile.
