Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009102776A2] Suitable tissue-fastening articles and devices that can incorporate and/or be encapsulated by one or more potyphosphazenes are provided, including various surgical fastening devices ('SFD'), sutures, surgical staples, screws, and other equivalent tissue-fastening devices, which exhibit exceilent mechanical and physical tolerance properties, in order to improve the biocompatibiiity of such sheathed implanted devices, and to prevent or diminish various secondary injuries following a treatment or an implantation. The poiyphosphazenes coating of various tissue-fastening articles and devices imparts substantial advantages to such articles and devices, including the prevention or minimization of uncontroiled cellular growth, and reduction in various inflammatory reactions following the implantation of a foreign material into a patient's body, and thereby, reducing the amount of antibiotics necessary to treat infections attendant with such implantation and subsequent inflammatory reactions.
