Absorbable Drug-Eluting Implants
Our polymeric materials can be used as excipients on absorbable drug-eluting implants to allow for facile processing with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and customizable continued-release profiles.
Absorbable Combination Medical Devices
Drug delivery systems are polymer formulations or medical devices that facilitate the introduction of therapeutics into the body and control their release rate, time, and location. Bioresorbable polymers may be utilized as coatings in drug-eluting medical devices, such as stents or meshes. These polymers may also be used as drug delivery systems to form depot locations in otherwise challenging areas to target with oral or intravenous administration. Contact Poly-Med today to discuss your next-generation drug-eluting medical device or drug-delivery applications.
Next Generation Delivery
Our matierals allow for modification and tailoring of the delivery of active ingredients in a variety of anatomical locations and physiological environments. Contact us today to select materials or products to support next generation delivery for your product.
Drug-Eluting Coatings
We offer a portfolio of absorbable polymers that can act as carrier matrices for eluting APIs in a controlled manner.
Caproprene®
Our Caproprene® coating system is a unique, low-molecular-weight polycaprolactone-based polymer, creating a waxy, hydrophobic matrix to allow for sustained drug released from the implantable medical device.
Strataprene®
Our Strataprene® materials are a family of highly flexible polyaxial block copolymers that can also be used to coat absorbable medical implants. Typically, these polymers facilitate short-term release of APIs of interest.
Bioresorbable Excipients
We offer a wide range of absorbable polymers for drug delivery that include preformed lactide-co-glycolide articles, such as microspheres, particulates, or other articles that can also be rate modifying agents
Viscoprene®
Our Viscoprene® depot system is a unique and novel liquid block copolymer that conforms to a semi-solid structure when exposed to aqueous settings. This highly customizable drug delivery platform can provide a drug release profile that is continuous.
Moduprene®
With our Viscoprene® system, or as a standalone additive, we offer our drug release modifier, Moduprene®, as a way to tailor drug release kinetics. This low-molecular weight particulate system is specifically designed for extending sustainable delivery from days to weeks.
