Biodegradable ureteral stents: in vitro assessment of synthetic polymer degradation rate
Degradation of the investigated synthetic material occurs at a predictable rate, regardless of individual features of biochemical composition of the urine and its pH. The time of complete degradation of the material is 2-3 months. Lack of incrustation and acceptable degradation profile make the proposed material promising for creation of biodegradable ureteral stents.
