ABSTRACT:
Implantable devices having a biocompatible polymeric surface which is elastomeric and susceptible to cracking under in vivo conditions are provided which have been subjected to treatment with a crack preventative composition that includes an elastomeric silicone such as poly(dimethyl siloxane). This treatment substantially prevents cracking of the implantable device after it is implanted.
