Abstract
This invention relates to an implantable medical device capable of encouraging cellular growth and regeneration of function fabricated totally or in part from one or more bioresorbable polymers, as for example bioresorbable homopolymers derived from the polymerization of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids, where at least one of the polymers has an average molecular weight of from about 234,000 to about 320,000 as measured by gel permeation chromatography.
