Bioabsorbable Polymers: Drying Degradable Materials Appropriately

A key concern for the use of bioresorbable materials is the presence of water or moisture within an bioresorbable device. As the majority of bioresorbable polymers degrade by hydrolytic degradation, minimizing water content is of the utmost importance for enhancing device life and maintaining functionality. In general, bioresorbable polymers degrade by bulk hydrolysis of main-chain […]
