Abstract
Medical devices for local bioactive delivery are described. A medical device includes a first biodegradable layer, a second biodegradable layer, and a bioactive disposed between the first and second biodegradable layers. The first and second biodegradable layers are positioned such that a surface of the first biodegradable layer faces a surface of the second biodegradable layer and such that a peripheral portion of one biodegradable layer is folded over a peripheral portion of the other biodegradable layer. Methods of making medical devices and methods of using medical devices are also described.
