Abstract: 
Cell adhesion, cell growth and cell activities of macrophages and fibroblasts, cultured on newly developed degradable multiblock-copolyesters were studied to examine the biocompatibility and the possible use of these polymers for medical applications. The biocompatibility and the biodegradability of the polymers were confirmed by subcutaneous implantation of polymer foils in rats.
