Oriented resorbable implants made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) and copolymers thereof, have been developed that contain one or more antimicrobial agents to prevent colonization of the implants, and reduce or prevent the occurrence of infection following implantation in a patient. These oriented implants are particularly suitable for use in procedures where prolonged strength retention is necessary and there is a risk of infection. Coverings and receptacles made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate and copolymers thereof, containing antimicrobial agents, have also been developed for use with implantable devices to prevent colonization of these devices, and to reduce or prevent the occurrence of infection following implantation of these devices in a patient. These coverings and receptacles may be used to hold, or partially or fully cover, devices such as pacemakers and neurostimulators. Preferably, the coverings and receptacles are made from meshes, non-wovens, films, fibers, and foams, and contain rifampin and minocycline.
由聚-4-羟基丁酸酯(P4HB)及其共聚物制成的定向可吸收植入物已经研制成功,这种植入物含有一种或多种抗菌剂,可防止植入物的定植,减少或防止植入病人体内后发生感染。这些定向植入物尤其适用于需要长时间保持强度且有感染风险的手术。由聚-4-羟基丁酸及其共聚物制成的、含有抗菌剂的覆盖物和容器也已开发出来,可与植入式装置一起使用,以防止这些装置发生定植,并减少或防止病人植入这些装置后发生感染。这些覆盖物和容器可用于固定、部分或全部覆盖心脏起搏器和神经刺激器等装置。这些覆盖物和容器最好由网格布、无纺布、薄膜、纤维和泡沫制成,并含有利福平和米诺环素。
