Surgical threads and artificial dura mater, etc.! A medical polymer that can be processed into various shapes.
The "L-lactic acid/ε-caprolactone copolymer (LCL)" is obtained by using L-lactide (the cyclic dimer of lactic acid) and ε-caprolactone as monomers and performing ring-opening polymerization of them. LCL (75:25) is primarily processed into biodegradable sutures and marketed, while LCL (50:50) is used as an artificial dura mater. When used as sutures, the filaments are flexible, allowing even thick filaments to be used as single monofilaments. 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】 ■ Mainly processed into biodegradable sutures ■ Flexible processing characteristics ■ Capable of being processed into various shapes ■ Properties: Amorphous, flexible *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
