The present invention relates to medical devices, particularly for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes, which may coated or at least partially formed using porous reticulated composite materials. Specifically, the present invention relates to medical devices which include a porous composite material, where the composite material can be formed using a process comprising the steps of providing a liquid mixture that includes at least one inorganic and/or organic reticulating agent; and at least one matrix material that is a polymer or combination of polymers; and solidifying the liquid mixture. |
