description Product Description
Poly(glycolide-L-(-)-lactide) is widely used in the medical field, particularly in the development of biodegradable sutures. Its ability to break down naturally in the body makes it ideal for surgical applications where long-term presence is unnecessary. Additionally, it is utilized in drug delivery systems, where it serves as a carrier for controlled release of medications, ensuring a steady and prolonged therapeutic effect. The material is also employed in tissue engineering, providing a scaffold that supports cell growth and gradually degrades as new tissue forms. Its biocompatibility and tailored degradation rate make it a versatile choice for various biomedical applications.
