Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Resorbable lactide polymer thin membranes are disclosed. The thin membranes are constructed of polylactide resorbable polymers which are engineered to be , absorbed into the body relatively slowly over time in order to reduce potential negative side effects. The membranes are formed to have very thin thicknesses, for example, thicknesses between about 0.010 mm and about 0.300 mm. The membranes can be extruded from polylactide polymers having a relatively high viscosity property, can be preshaped with relatively thick portions, and can be stored in sterile packages.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 31, 2003 and granted January 3, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 31, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 31, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
