Synthetic absorbable surgical devices of poly-dioxanone

Synthetic absorbable sutures and other surgical devices are prepared from polymers of p-dioxanone and 1,4-dioxepan-2-one, and alkyl substituted derivatives thereof. Monofilament sutures of oriented fibers are characterized by good tensil...

Bioabsorbable coating for a surgical article

A bioabsorbable coating for a surgical article comprises a copolymer manufactured from the monomer caprolactone and at least one other copolymerizable monomer. The surgical article can be a bioabsorbable suture or ligature.

Crystalline copolymers of p-dioxanone and lactide and surgical devices made therefrom

A crystalline copolymer is produced by first polymerizing p-dioxanone to form a mixture of monomer and homopolymer, and then adding lactide to this mixture and polymerizing to form a copolymer.

Crystalline p-dioxanone/glycolide copolymers and surgical devices made therefrom

Copolymers are made by reacting glycolide with a mixture of p-dioxanone monomer and homopolymer. The copolymers are useful in making surgical devices such as surgical sutures.
