Functional Properties of Polyurethane Ureteral Stents with PLGA and Papaverine Hydrochloride Coating

Despite the obvious benefits of using ureteral stents to drain the ureters, there is also a risk of complications from 80–90%. The presence of a foreign body in the human body causes disturbances in its proper functioning. It can lead to biofilm formation on the stent surface, which may favor the de...
