Abstract
In vitro methodology was developed to investigate the effects of therapeutic ultrasound on polymer erosion. It was found that ultrasound enhances polymer degradation as demmonstrated by the enhanced decrease in polymer molecular weight during the induction period of erosion. Morphological changes on the surface of ultrasound exposed devices were assessed by SEM and suggested that cavitation may cause the mechanical disintegration of the polymer surface.
