Abstract:
A bioresorbable polymeric clayey and sticky substance which comprises at least one copolymer selected from the group consisting of a copolymer of p-dioxanone with D-lactide, which has a weight average molecular weight of from 2,000 to 40,000, a copolymer of p-dioxanone with L-lactide, which has a weight average molecular weight of from 2,000 to 40,000 and a copolymer of p-dioxanone with D, L-lactide, which has a weight average molecular weight of from 3,000 to 50,000, wherein the ratio of p-dioxanone occupying the copolymer is from 50 to 95 mol %, andwherein said substance shows tackiness, plasticity and shape holding ability at a temperature of approximately from 30 to 40Â° C. and can increase its fluidity to give an optional shape at 40Â° C. or higher.
