Abstract

Cell adhesion, cell growth and cell activities of macrophages and fibroblasts, cultured on
newly developed degradable multiblock-copolyesters were studied to examine the
biocompatibility and the possible use of these polymers for medical applications. The
biocompatibility and the biodegradability of the polymers were confirmed by subcutaneous
implantation of polymer foils in rats.
