Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to polymers having hydroxyl containing bioactive agents incorporated into the backbone of the polymer or attached thereto by pendant linkages. Hydroxyl containing bioactive agents which may be attached to these polymers include antimicrobial agents such as triclosan. The polymers may be utilized to form medical devices or coatings for such devices. The hydroxyl containing bioactive agent may be released from the polymer upon hydrolysis of the polymeric backbone or pendant linkage in vivo.
