## Abstract Several strategies have been used to increase the biostability of medical‐grade polyurethanes while maintaining biocompatibility and mechanical properties. One approach is to chemically modify or replace the susceptible soft segment. Currently, poly(carbonate urethanes) (PCUs) are being
