Widely used in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Commonly employed in drug delivery systems, where it allows controlled release of therapeutic agents over time. Frequently used in microspheres, nanoparticles, and implants for sustained delivery of drugs, including vaccines, hormones, and anticancer agents. Also serves as a scaffold material in tissue engineering, supporting cell growth for regeneration of bone, cartilage, and skin. Its degradation rate can be tailored by adjusting the monomer ratio, making it suitable for short-term or long-term applications. Used in absorbable sutures and surgical meshes that degrade naturally in the body, eliminating the need for removal after healing.
