The new novel implant designs include the functionality of advanced drug delivery systems in order to improve osteointegration and to inhibit the implant-related post-operative infections. In this research, Ti6Al4V metallic implants were coated with the multifunctional-dual slow drug delivery coating which includes a polymeric matrix system based on a poly-lactic acid thin film and a bioactive ceramic hydroxyapatite. This system consists of two different kinds of pharmaceuticals, which are gentamicin and simvastatin. It is reported in this paper that the simvastatin and gentamicin containing poly-lactic acid coating which was applied uniformly and successfully with and without hydroxyapatite microspheres. Most importantly, the release rate of drugs was controlled with PLA matrix and HAp microspheres which have different dissolution rates in order to prevent the high dosages causing adverse side-effects of drugs.

API-ILs were encapsulated into biocompatible PLLA. The morphology and crystallinity of the resulting membranes can be tuned by varying the IL nature and content leading to controlled release.

To develop an appropriate drug carrier for drug delivery systems, we prepared random poly(lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLGC) copolymers in comparison to commercial poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) grades.
