Application of Biodegradable Polymeric Materials in Interventional Medical Devices for Cardiovascular Therapy

Abstract:

Degradable cardiovascular interventional devices have become a hot topic in medical device development. Biomedical materials are the core of degradable cardiovascular interventional devices. This paper summarizes the chemical and physical properties as well as the degradation characteristics of related degradable polymeric materials， and discusses the relationship between the expected functions of degradable cardiovascular interventional devices and the properties of degradable polymeric materials. Finally， it points the challenges and future development directions of biodegradable polymeric materials to provide reference for relevant practitioners.
