Abstract
The present invention describes a new aliphatic polyoxaesters that is bioabsorbable and may be used to produce surgical devices such as sutures, sutures with attached needles, molded devices, and the like. The invention also contemplates a process for producing these polyesters. The aliphatic polyoxaesters of the present invention have a first divalent repeating unit of formula I:
[O--C(O)--C(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)--O--(R.sub.3)--O--C(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)--C(O)--
]I
and a second repeating unit selected from the group of formulas consisting of:
[--O--R.sub.4 --].sub.A, II
[--O--R.sub.5 --C(O)--].sub.B, and III
([--O--R.sub.5 --C(O)].sub.P --O--).sub.L G XI
and combinations thereof.
