This disclosure covers polymers, some of which are useful in medical device applications. Some of these medical devices are implantable within a mammalian body, such as in a body lumen. The copolymers comprise at least one alcoholic moiety derived from a diol, triol, or polyol. Additionally, the copolymers comprise an acidic moiety, derived from a polycarboxylic acid, and a biobeneficial moiety. Some of these copolymers are biodegradable or bioerodable. Medical devices comprising these polymers and methods of making these polymers are within the scope of this disclosure.
