具有增强的机械强度和药理功能的可生物降解医疗器械

Biodegradable medical devices with enhanced mechanical strength and pharmacological functions
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a medical device, specifically a prosthesis which utilizes a novel class of blends between biodegradable polymers and bioceramics for medical device applications allowing one to capitalize on the biodegradable nature of these two distinct materials while enhancing the strength of these devices through the addition of various amounts of bioactive ceramic and glasses to biodegradable polymers. The blend may be fabricated into a medical device such as a stent or a distal protection device, and may incorporate various agents to enhance radioapacity and/or pharmacological function. In addition, the blend may be used as a coating to a medical device.
