Product Description

Poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) (PLLA-co-DLLA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible copolymer composed of L-lactide and racemic D,L-lactide units. The incorporation of D,L-lactide disrupts crystallinity, leading to enhanced flexibility and tunable degradation rates. It is widely used in biomedical applications, particularly in controlled drug delivery and resorbable medical implants.

Applications:

Medical Implants: Used in bioresorbable sutures, screws, and fixation devices.
Drug Delivery Systems: Forms biodegradable microspheres and nanoparticles for sustained drug release.
Tissue Engineering Scaffolds: Provides a biodegradable framework for cell growth and tissue regeneration.
