Device with microstructure mediated absorption profile

摘要: Polymer devices are disclosed with microstructured surfaces that modify their absorption pathway. Polymers which generally degrade in water by fracturing into high surface energy fragments, modified to vivo without the formation of sharp fragments. Devices possess improved handling characteristics and an aqueous environment a uniform continuous way favors soluble monomers rather than solid particulate. Absorbable medical implants modifications more biocompatible, reduced foreign body response, dissolution metabolizable molecular species.
