High modulus biodegradable polyurethanes for applications in cardiovascular stents: Evaluation of in-vitro degradation and cell viability

We have recently reported the mechanical properties and hydrolytic degradation behaviour of a series of NovoSorb™ [1] biodegradable polyurethanes (PUs) prepared by varying the hard segment (HS) weight percentage from 60-100. In this study the in-vitro degradation behaviour of the PUs with and withou...
