Patent ID: 7507251

Claim:
A bioabsorbable implantable device comprising a bioactive drug and a poly(ester amide) (PEA) polymer blend having a glass transition temperature (T g ) above the T g of poly(ester amide benzyl ester) (PEA-Bz) or poly {[N,N′-sebacoyl-bis-(L-leucine)-1,6-hexylene diester]-[N,N′-sebacoyl-L-lysine 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-amino-1-piperidinyloxyl amide]} (PEA-TEMPO), the PEA polymer blend comprising: a first PEA polymer having a T g equal to or below the T g of PEA-Bz or T g of PEA-TEMPO, and a second PEA polymer having a T g above the T g of PEA-Bz or T g of PEA-TEMPO.
