The availability of osteogenic proteins for orthopedic applications has led to great interest in developing delivery systems for these substances. Standard release rate models are applicable in most biological settings, but orthopedic implants usually bear mechanical loads. To determine whether a re

To evaluate whether or not the corneal micropocket implantation is effective for determining the toxicity of polymeric materials, currently used biodegradable polymers such as poly(1actic acid) (PLA), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), LA-GA copolymers, and three kinds of poly(2-cyano-acry1ate)s (PCA) were
## Abstract An in vitro organ culture method was developed for the study of biodegradation of surgical implant materials. This method gives valuable information in less than 24 hr in the case of rapidly biodegradable materials such as poly(lactic acids) and poly(alkyl 2βcyanoacrylates). These data
