Widely used in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Commonly employed in drug delivery systems, where it controls the release rate of therapeutic agents over time. Frequently used in microspheres and nanoparticles for sustained delivery of proteins, vaccines, and anticancer drugs. Also utilized in tissue engineering scaffolds, providing temporary structural support for cell growth and tissue regeneration. Found in absorbable sutures that degrade naturally in the body, eliminating the need for removal after wound healing. Its degradation rate can be tailored by adjusting the monomer ratio, making it suitable for short-term to long-term medical applications.
