A must-see for those looking for polymers in various shapes! Medical polymers with flexible processing characteristics.
The "Glycolic Acid/L-Lactic Acid Copolymer (PGLA)" is obtained by using glycolide (the cyclic dimer of glycolic acid) and lactide (the cyclic dimer of lactic acid) as monomers and performing ring-opening polymerization of them. Lactide can be classified into three types (L-lactide, D-lactide, and DL-lactide) due to its optical activity, so we refer to the copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide as "PGLA." Our BioDegmer is produced in facilities compliant with ISO 13485, can be processed into a variety of shapes, and is used in a wide range of applications in the medical field. 【Features】 ■ Obtained through ring-opening polymerization ■ Flexible processing characteristics ■ Capable of being processed into various shapes ■ Properties: Poorly soluble (high glycolide content) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
