abstract |
The present invention relates to new classes of biocompatible polymers comprising at least one repeating unit derived from a compound of Formula (I) as defined in the claims and specification. These polymers may be biodegradable and bioresorble, and, while not limited thereto, may be adapted for radio-opacity and are useful for medical device applications and controlled release therapeutic formulations. Therefore, methods for preparing these polymers and medical devices prepared therefrom are also encompassed by this disclosure. |
