Abstract: The invention relates, generally, to porous absorbent materials which are suitable for packing antrums or other cavities of the human or animal body. More particularly, it relates to hydrophilic biodegradable foams, which may be used e.g. in the form of a plug or tampon, for instance for controlling bleeding, wound closure, prevent tissue adhesion and/or support tissue regeneration. The invention provides an absorbent foam, suitable for packing antrums or other cavities of the human or animal body, comprising a biodegradable synthetic polymer, which polymer preferably comprises —C(O)—O—groups in the backbone of the polymer, for instance polyurethane and/or polyester units combined with polyethers.

Abstract: The invention relates, generally, to medical appliances. More particularly, it relates to tubular shaped devices used as drains for draining fluids (liquids and/or gases) from antrums or other parts of the human or animal body. According to the present invention a drain is provided, which is suitable for draining a human or animal antrum, which drain comprises a synthetic biodegradable material, preferably a biodegradable polymer.
