Abstract
Because of the ability of polymers to exist in glassy, rubbery or solventβswollen forms which have very different diffusion coefficients they are able to be used very effectively to control the release of incorporated drugs. As the polymers can vary from inert in vivo to biodegradable an even greater scope for versatile formulation is provided. The various parameters governing the design of controlled release implants are discussed.

## Abstract A novel bilayer dressing has been developed from bovine succinylated collagen. The dressing contains an antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin, for both immediate and timeβregulated release for controlling the infection, as the infected open wounds need special care. The dressing consists of a spong
