Medical devices and coatings therefore comprising biodegradable polymers with enhanced functionality

摘要

Biodegradable polymers useful for fabricating implantable medical devices and as coatings for medical devices are provided. The biodegradable polymers are biocompatible and can be tuned to provide optimum bioactive agent elution rates as well as degradation rates. Also provided are methods for making medical devices and medical device coatings using the biodegradable polymers.
