Abstract
⺠We obtained implants from indomethacin cores coated with PLGA:PEG films grown by MAPLE. ⺠The implants were studied in vitro, in media close to those encountered inside the body. ⺠The influence of the molecular weight of PEG (1450 Da versus 10 kDa) was investigated. ⺠PEG of high molecular weight enhanced the blood compatibility of the implants. ⺠PEG of high molecular weight increased the drug release rates from the implants.
