Orthopedic devices, absorbable polymers

Biocomposites made of fillers and matrices that both are fully absorbable in human s body are called fully resorbable. In this category, four types of polymers can be distinguished polyglycolic acid (PGA], polylactic acid (PLA], poly-L-lactide (PLLA] and poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide] [PLDLLA], These are often used to produce stitches, orthopedic scaffold, stents, and other devices that are supposed to be absorbed after a determined period [2],...
