Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010132899A1] The present invention discloses a stent comprising a blend formed from a polymer. The polymer comprises poly-L-lactide, poly-D-lactide or mixtures thereof and a copolymer moiety comprising poly-L-lactide or poly-D-lactide linked with epsilon-caprolactone or trimethylcarbonate. The poly-L-lactide or poly-D-lactide sequence in the copolymer moiety is random with respect to the distribution of epsilon-caprolactone or trimethylcarbonate and the copolymer moiety molecular weight ranges from about 1.2 IV to about 4.8 IV. The polymere blend may have a wide-angle X-ray scattering (W AXS) 2-theta values of ranging from about 1 to about 35. The properties of the bioabsorbable polymers allow for both crimping and expansion of the stent. The crystal properties of the bioabsorbable polymers may change during crimping and/or expansion allowing for improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength and slower degradation kinetics
