description Product Description
Polycaprolactone is widely used in the medical field for biodegradable sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds due to its biocompatibility and slow degradation rate. In 3D printing, it serves as a versatile material for creating prototypes and custom implants because of its low melting point and ease of molding. It is also employed in the production of biodegradable packaging, adhesives, and coatings, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics. Additionally, polycaprolactone is utilized in the manufacturing of shape-memory polymers, which have applications in smart textiles and responsive medical devices. Its flexibility and durability make it suitable for use in orthopedic casts and wound dressings as well.
