  • Patent number: 5431652
    Abstract: Bone-treating devices made of biodegradable polymers having a high-density and a high-orientation along the major axis, which have a density of 1.260 g/cm.sup.3 or more (when measured by the sink and float method) and which possess the bending strength and the bending strength-retaining characteristic defined by the following equations:A.gtoreq.B.gtoreq.23 (kgf/mm.sup.2) (1)B/A.gtoreq.0.85 (2)wherein A is the initial bending strength and B is the bending strength after 90-days immersion of the devices in a phosphate buffer at 37.degree. C. and preparing the same.
