Abstract:
1. A crystallizable bioabsorbable polymer composition comprising a base polymer comprising a poly(L-lactide) moiety, and/or a poly(D-lactide) moiety, and/or poly L-lactide-co-PEG moiety, and/or poly D-lactide-co-PEG moiety, linked with a modifying copolymer thereof, comprising poly(L-lactide-co-Tri-methylene-carbonate) or poly(D-lactide-co-tri-methylene-carbonate) or poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) or poly(D-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) in the form of block copolymers or blocky random copolymers, wherein the thermal transition temperature of the crystallizable bioabsorbable polymer composition ranges from about 60° C. to about 70° C., and wherein the crystallizable bioabsorbable polymer composition forms at least part of a stent.
