Effects of different fluid shear stress patterns on the in vitro degradation of poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) acid membranes

Abstract: The applications of poly (lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA) for coating or fabricating polymeric biodegradable stents (BDSs) have drawn more attention. The fluid shear stress has been proved to affect the in vitro degradation process of PLGA membranes. During the maintenance, BDSs could be suffered different patterns of fluid shear stress, but the effect of these different patterns on the whole degradation process is unclear. In this study, in vitro degradation of PLGA membranes was examined with steady, sinus… Show more
