摘要:
The present invention involves porous polymer membranes, suitable for use inmedical implants, having controlled pore sizes, pore densities and mechanicalproperties. Methods of manufacturing such porous membranes are described inwhich a continuous fiber of polymer is extruded through a reciprocating extrusionhead and deposited onto a substrate in a predetermined pattern. When cured, thepolymeric material forms a stable, porous membrane suitable for a variety ofapplications, including reducing emboli release during and after stent delivery,and providing a source for release of bioactive substance to a vessel or organand surrounding tissue.
