Biodegradable and resorbable polymer pouches are described for use with cardiac rhythm mamagent devices (CRMs) and other implantable medical devices (IMDs), i.e., a pouch, covering, or other receptacle capable of encasing, surrounding and/or holding the CRM or other IMD for the purpose of securing it in position, inhibiting or reducing bacterial growth, providing pain relief and/or inhibiting scarring or fibrosis on or around the CRM or other IMD. Optionally, the biodegradable and resorbable pouches of the invention include one or more drugs in the polymer matrix to provide prophylactic effects and alleviate side effects or complications associated with the surgery or implantation of the CRM or other IMD.

La présente invention concerne des poches polymères biodégradables et résorbables utilisables avec des dispositifs de gestion du rythme cardiaque (Cardiac Rhythm Management, CRM) et d'autres dispositifs médicaux implantables (Implantable Medical Device, IMD). L'invention concerne une poche, un boîtier ou un autre réceptacle capable d'enfermer, d'entourer et/ou de maintenir le CRM ou un autre IMD dans le but de le maintenir en position, d'inhiber ou de réduire la croissance bactérienne, de soulager la douleur et/ou d'inhiber la formation de cicatrices ou de fibrose sur ou autour du CRM ou d'un IMD. Les poches biodégradables et résorbables selon l'invention peuvent éventuellement renfermer un ou plusieurs médicaments contenus dans la matrice polymère pour exercer des effets prophylactiques et atténuer les effets indésirables ou les complications associés à l'opération chirurgicale ou à l'implantation du CRM ou d'un IMD.
