Hie ester linkage of aliphatic and aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters can easily be cleaved by hydrolysis under alkaline, acid, or enzymatic catalysis. This feature makes polyesters very attractive for two related, but quite different, applications (i) bioresorbable, bioabsorbable, or bioerodible polymers and (ii) environmentally degradable and recyclable polymers.

The term bioresorbable refers to polymers which degrade into products that can be eliminated from the body through natural pathways or, even better, which are involved normally in metabolic pathways [13]. Toxicity does not necessarily stem from the polymer itself or its fragments, but may arise from the presence of synthesis residues such as solvents, catalysts, monomers, and stabilizers [80].

Sutures are used to close wounds or incisions made during operations. If the material used for the suturing is bioresorbable, then this eliminates the need for removal of any stitches. Polymers such as polyglyco-lide [first marketed as Dexon (Bayer Corp) in the 1960s] and polylactide are commonly used for this purpose, although a wider range of polymers are now available and have been recently reviewed elsewhere (Figs. 4A and...
