Bioresorbable embolization systems

The controlled, gradual degradation of the embolic systems, initially fostering platelet adhesion and subsequent cellular attachment and retention, is poised to significantly contribute to the embolization of the aneurysm. Simultaneously, as a bioactive molecule is released to stimulate intra-aneurysmal tissue ingrowth and healing, the biodegradable embolic will seamlessly integrate with the new tissue over time, ensuring permanent occlusion without the long-term presence of foreign bodies.
