ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides novel hydrogel-forming, self-solvating, absorbable polyester copolymers capable of selective, segmental association into compliant hydrogels upon contacting an aqueous environment. Methods of using the novel polyester copolymers of the invention in humans are also disclosed for providing a protective barrier to prevent post-surgical adhesion, treatment of defects in conduits such as blood vessels, and controlled release of a biologically active agent for modulating cellular events such as wound healing and tissue regeneration or therapeutic treatment of diseases such as infection of the periodontium, dry socket, bone, skin, vaginal, and nail infections
