## Abstract Antibiotic loading of bone regenerative materials is a promising way to protect augmentation procedures from infection during the resorption phase of bone substitutes. Especially in the early stage of implantation, it should protect the grafted site against microbiological pathogens. Th
To provide local gentamicin delivery for 1 week based on a biodegradable system, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles were developed utilizing a 50/ 50 blend of Resomer 1 RG 502H, an uncapped variety of 13.5 kD, and Resomer 1 RG 503, an endcapped polymer of 36.2 kD. The liberation mec
