Description

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) is a biodegradable polymer that is used in the manufacture of sutures. It is made from the monomers L-lactide and glycolide and has an average molecular weight of 10,000 to 15,000 Daltons. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) can be sterilized by autoclaving or gamma irradiation. The polymerization process does not produce any toxic byproducts. Polymers are soluble in solvents such as acetic acid or alcohols. They are also resistant to degradation by enzymes or bacteria. This polymer is used in the manufacturing of sutures because it has good adhesive properties and is more water resistant than other polymers. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) can be used as an ophthalmic device because it is transparent and biocompatible with
