Bioabsorbable copolymers of polyalkylene carbonate - p - dioxanone for surgical suture material and coating compositions

摘要

Bioabsorbable copolymers comprising &rgr;-dioxanone and AA-BB type polyalkylene carbonates are provided. The copolymers are useful in the fabrication of sterile surgical articles and bioabsorbable coatings for sutures and are produced from organic carbonates by way of prepolymeric synthetic intermediates.
