Poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) is a biodegradable polyester that is synthesized from the polymerization of p-dioxanone monomers. It is characterized by its high flexibility, good mechanical properties, and biocompatibility, making it suitable for various biomedical applications, particularly in sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds. PPDO exhibits a relatively slow degradation rate compared to other biodegradable polymers, which allows for sustained release of therapeutic agents. Its degradation products are non-toxic and can be metabolized by the body, further enhancing its suitability for medical use. The polymer typically has a glass transition temperature that allows it to remain flexible at physiological temperatures. Additionally, PPDO can be processed using standard polymer fabrication techniques, such as extrusion and injection molding, which facilitates its incorporation into various medical devices. Overall, the unique combination of mechanical properties, biodegradability, and biocompatibility makes Poly(p-dioxanone) a valuable material in the field of biomedical engineering.
