Skeletal systems, bioresorbable polymers

One of the major classes of synthetic bioresorbable polymers is that of aliphatic polyesters or poly(a-hydroxy acids). Poly(a-hydroxy acids) such as PGA, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) stereoisomers poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactic acid), and pol-y(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) copolymers are the most widely used and most popular bioresorbable polymers since they received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for clinical use in humans in different forms (eg, fibers for sutures, injectable forms) (Nair and Laurencin, 2007). These polymers are commonly used in regenerative medicine applications. An example is the InQu Bone Graft Extender Substitute (ISTO Technologies), an osteoconductive biosynthetic product used as bone graft substitute in the skeletal system to support new bone formation.
