Poly glycolide-co-trimethylene

Poly(glycolide-co trimethylene carbonate). Another successful approach to obtaining an absorbable polymer capable of producing flexible monofilaments has involved finding a new type of monomer for copolymerization with glycoHde (42). Trimethylene carbonate polymerized with glycoHde is shown below ... [Pg.191]

Owing to its hydrolytic instability, initially, its use was limited. Currently, polyglycolide and its copolymers poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) with lactic acid, poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) with e-caprolactone, and poly(glycolide-co-trimethylene carbonate) with trimethylene carbonate) are widely used to develop synthetic absorbable sutures that were marketed under the trade name of Dexon and are now sold as Surgicryl [61],...

A resorbable biotextile is a temporary supporting material in the human body its objective is to restore or repair the function of diseased or traumatized tissue. Several kinds of resorbable polymers are used for biotextUe applications. In suture application, glycolic and lactic add polymers are commercially used. Poly(glycolide-co-trimethylene carbonate), poly(glycolide-co-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate), polydioxanone (Bourne, 1988), poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) (Tomihata, 1998) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (Voloka, 2003) have also been investigated for use as sutures. Natural polymers, such as chitin, chitosan and a benzyl ester of hyaluronic acid are... [Pg.94]
