Polylactide biocompatibility

Bioerodible polymers offer a unique combination of properties that can be tailored to suit nearly any controlled drug delivery application. By far the most common bioerodible polymers employed for biomedical applications are polyesters and polyethers (e.g., polyethylene glycol), polylactide, polyglycolide and their copolymers). These polymers are biocompatible, have good mechanical properties, and have been used in... [Pg.169]

Observations A biocompatible polylactide has been prepared that contains a 2-bis-... [Pg.451]

Polyesters, specifically polylactides and poly(lactide-co-glycolide)s have played a critical role in the development of polymer-based CR technologies. The biocompatibility and the well-established safety profiles of PLA and PLGA polymers have made them the polymer of choice for CR applications. However the off-patent status of these polymers makes them freely available for research in industry as well as academia. This has led to a vast number of patents covering various applications of these polymers within the drug delivery sector. Due to these issues, very limited scope remains to utilize these polymers to reformulate generic, off-patent drugs. [Pg.347]

Besides polymers such as polylactides, waxes have the potential as biocompatible/biodegradable carriers in... [Pg.4069]

Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the blends of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers in view of their potential environmental and biomedical applications. Song et al. [127] fabricated polylactide (PLA) nanofibers and the formation of nanocomposites with Ti02 via solution blending. The results... [Pg.256]
