  • Resorbable implant with lubricious coating
    Publication number: 20060002967
    Abstract: A device for surgical implantation that has a lubricious coating disposed on a polymeric matrix. The polymeric matrix establishes a biocompatible and at least partially bioresorbable scaffold adapted for ingrowth of native tissue. The lubricious coating is biocompatible and bioresorbable, and acts to lubricate the matrix and decrease friction on its surface. The lubricious coating may be discrete or integrated, and may be disposed on part or the whole of the matrix surface.
