Abstract: Bioresorbable thermoset elastomers and methods of making the same are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the thermoset elastomers include soft segments comprising branched polyesters, and hard segments including urethane and/or urea. The thermoset elastomers are made in certain embodiments by curing a branched prepolymer with a cross-linking agent. In certain embodiments, the mechanical properties of the thermoset elastomers are tailored by selecting the average molecular weight of the prepolymer, or by tuning the ratio of prepolymer to the cross-linking agent during curing, or by selecting a cross-linking agent with specific chemical characteristics.

Abstract: Disclosed is a self-expanding medical implant for placement within a lumen of a patient. The implant comprises a woven or non-woven structure having a substantially tubular configuration, and is designed to be low-profile such that it is deliverable with a small diameter catheter. The implant has a high recoverability and desired mechanical properties.

Abstract: Disclosed are fiber composite structures comprising a matrix material and at least one polymeric fiber in contact with the matrix material. The fiber(s) are preferably characterized by a diameter of up to about 20 microns. In certain embodiments, the fiber(s) comprise a therapeutic agent in an amount that exceeds the solubility limit of the therapeutic agent in the fiber polymer. In some embodiments, the fiber(s) comprise an inner radial portion and an outer radial portion.

Abstract: A medical device and method for drug delivery employing a 3-dimensional pattern of a polymer support material (e.g., that is degradable after implant in a body), a drug associated with the polymer support material, and an adhesive that adheres the polymer support material and associated drug to body tissue. The adhesive may persist to maintain the device in a suitable position for a suitable time (e.g., until after the polymer support material begins to degrade to release the drug), and the drug may be arranged in discrete areas of the 3-dimensional pattern that are separated from each other. The pattern may be produced in whole or in part before deployment at a body site, or may be produced in whole or in part directly at a tissue surface.
