Abstract
Biodel, a bioabsorbable polymer, may be adapted to serve as an antibiotic delivery system for high local concentrations of drugs. In an autocontaminated, irradiated wound model with a high intrinsic infection rate, implanted gentamicin-impregnated Biodel beads prevented wound infections in the submental area of rats.
