Applications L-(-)-Lactide is a cyclic lactic acid derivative used in the ring-opening polymerization of Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is commonly found in biodegradable plastics. Polymers derived from L-(-)-Lactide also provide a therapeutic use in the field of prosthetics as they do not have any adverse effects on proliferation and differentiation of bone cells.
