A new method for the estimation for the absorption time of bioabsorbable polymers in the body.
A new method was developed to estimate the in vivo time of absorption of alpha-hydroxy polyester type polymers. This method is based on the pH Stat titration of the polymer as a function of time which can be related to the absorption time of the polymer in the body.
