More Information
Summary:A self-orienting biocompatible polymer system incorporating a hydrophilic surface and a hydrophobic core are disclosed. The hydrophilic surface aids in biocompatibility while the hydrophobic core allows the polymer system to accommodate a hydrophobic drug. Medical devices coated with the polymer system are also disclosed. L'invention porte sur un système de polymère biocompatible auto-orienté incorporant une surface hydrophile et un noyau hydrophobe. La surface hydrophile aide à la biocompatibilité tandis que le noyau hydrophobe permet au système de polymère de recevoir un médicament hydrophobe. L'invention porte également sur des dispositifs médicaux revêtus du système de polymère.
