Description

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) is a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point. It has been used in the form of sutures for surgical procedures and has also been shown to be effective against staphylococcus. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) also has an effect on neuronal death and incisional wound healing. The polymer can be degraded by hydrolysis or enzymatic cleavage and is therefore not suitable as an implant material. This material is used in the form of films for drug delivery systems as well as in surgical meshes for hernia repair, abdominal wall hernias, and rectocele repair.
