ABSTRACT:
Medical devices can be formed from improved composite materials that include a composition that has at least about 50 percent by volume pyrolytic carbon and a second composition having at least about 50 percent by volume metal/metalloid carbide. The composite material can optionally include a substrate. Some embodiments of the composite material have the pyrolytic carbon material at exposed surfaces.
