Used in the medical field for biodegradable sutures, this polymer is highly effective due to its ability to gradually break down in the body, reducing the need for suture removal surgeries. It's also utilized in drug delivery systems, where it serves as a carrier for controlled release of medications, ensuring a steady dose over time. Additionally, it finds application in tissue engineering, providing a scaffold that supports cell growth and eventually degrades, leaving behind natural tissue. Its biocompatibility and adjustable degradation rate make it suitable for various biomedical applications.
