The present disclosure relates to a shape memory polymer material containing at least one two dimensional region having a first amount of stored stress in a first direction and a second amount of stored stress higher than the first amount of stored stress in a second direction, wherein the two dimensional region is capable of changing shape in only one of the first or second directions.

Orientated polymeric devices

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for installing shape memory polymers relative to orthopedic implants.

Systems and methods for installing and removing an expandable polymer

Tissue fixation devices are provided. The devices include a first component and a second component, the components having different rates of in vivo degradation. The first component and second component are arranged so that, upon degradation of one of the components, the other component provides a scaffold into which bone can grow.

Tissue repair and replacement

The present disclosure relates to a multi-modal shape memory polymer material comprising a blend or at least one polymer component having a first molecular weight and at least a second polymer component having a second molecular weight that is less than the first component.

Multi-modal shape memory polymers

The present disclosure relates to a multi-modal shape memory polymer material comprising a blend of at least one polymer component having a first molecular weight and at least a second polymer component having a second molecular weight that is less than the first component.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber reinforced composite material. In an embodiment, the composite material includes a PLLA fiber material and a matrix material that does not have the same chemical element composition as the fiber material. Other fiber reinforced composite materials are also disclosed.
