EXPRESS: Evaluation of the Degradation Profile of Biodegradable Polymers in a Dynamic In Vitro Model with Artificial Feline Urine

Biodegradable ureteral stents may improve the management of feline ureteral obstructions by eliminating secondary removal procedures. In this in vitro dynamic model, the polymers degraded in a controlled and predictable manner, without accumulation of debris or flow obstruction in the in vitro system. Future studies should assess whether similar behavior occurs in smaller tubular structures similar to the feline ureter.
