Abstract

The present invention relates to a polymer based material comprising a water binding agent, whereas the water binding agent is present in an amount sufficient to chemically and/or physically absorb and/or adsorb water to prevent degradation of the polymer. It also relates to a polymer based material which comprises a plasticizer or organic solvent as well as a multi-component material or composite including materials encompassing a second polymer and/or an active agent. Furthermore it relates to a method for manufacturing the polymer comprising material and use of the material for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition to be used for treatment of bone, cartilage and/or periodontal defects. The invention also encompasses a kit using the polymeric material. Further, the present invention encompasses the use of a water binding agent for inhibiting water induced degradation of a polymer comprising material, for inducing blood clot stabilization in a polymer comprising material and for increasing storage stability in a polymer comprising material, wherein the water binding agent is not removed prior to application of the material.
