Abstract
The present invention is directed to medical devices, pharmaceutical or agricultural compositions, and seeds, each containing a synthetic, bioabsorbable, biocompatible polymeric wax that is the reaction product of a polybasic acid or derivative thereof, a polyol and a fatty acid, the polymeric wax having a melting point less than about 70° C., as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
