Abstract:
1. A hemostatic, compliant, elastomeric, fibrous construct comprising a non-woven material comprising fibers produced by electrostatic spinning of a solution and having a diameter in the range of from about 50 nm to about 10 μm, the fibers having a core/sheath configuration and made from at least one synthetic absorbable polymer and at least one further polymer comprising a synthetic water-soluble polymer, the solution comprising an absorbable polymer made from at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ε-caprolactone, dl-lactide, l-lactide, glycolide, trimethylene carbonate, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one, p-dioxanone, and a substituted or unsubstituted morpholine-2-5-dione, and a synthetic, water-soluble polymer consisting of polyethylene glycol interlinked by an ester or urethane interlink.
