Abstract
Devices formed of or including biocompatible polyhydroxylkanoates are provided with controlled degradation rates, preferably less than one year under physiological conditions. Preferred devices include sutures, suture fasteners, meniscus repair devices, rivets, tacks, staples, screws (including interference screws), bone plates and bone plating system, surgical mesh, repair patches, slings, cardiovascular patches, orthopedic pins (including bone filling augmentation material), adhesion barriers, stents, guided tissue repair/regeneration devices, articular cartilage repair devices, nerve guides, tendon repair devices, atrial septal defect repair devices, pericardial patches, bulking and filling agents, vein valves, bone marrow scaffolds, meniscus regeneration devices, ligament and tendon grafts, ocular cell implants, spinal fusion cages, skin substitutes, dural substitutes, bone graft substitutes, bone dowels, wound dressings, and hemostats. The polyhydroxyalkanoates can contain additives, be formed of mixtures of monomers or include pendant groups or modifications in their backbones, or can be chemically modified, all to alter the degradation rates. The polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions also provide favorable mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and degradation times within desirable time frames under physiological conditions.
Claims (34)
1. A biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoate composition having a controlled degradation rate of less than two years, preferably less than one year, by hydrolysis in vivo, selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions wherein units are incorporated into the polymer backbone which alter the chemical stability of the polymer, wherein linkages are incorporated into the polymer backbone which alter the chemical stability of the polymer, wherein pendant groups are incorporated into the polymer which alter the chemical stability of the polymer, wherein biocompatible excipients altering degradation rates are incorporated into the composition, and wherein the porosity or exposed surface area of the polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions is increased in an amount effective to yield a composition degrading in vivo in less than two years.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the degradation rate of the polyhydroxyalkanoate composition is controlled by increasing the porosity of the polyhydroxyalkanoate composition.
3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate composition comprise additives selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic substances, hydrophobic substances, and coating which alter water uptake by the composition.
4.
