Medical polymer "Polyglycolic acid (PGA)"
For applications such as sutures and artificial dura mater reinforcement! Polyglcolic acid has a wide range of potential uses.
Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is obtained by using glycolide (the cyclic dimer of glycolic acid) as a monomer and performing ring-opening polymerization. Our BioDegmer is produced in facilities compliant with ISO 13485, can be processed into a variety of shapes, and is used in a wide range of applications in the medical field. Its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and flexible processing characteristics make it an ideal innovative solution to contribute to the improvement of patients' quality of life (QOL). [Features] - Can be used as an artificial dura mater reinforcement material, etc. - Flexible processing characteristics - Capable of being processed into various shapes - Properties: crystalline, poorly soluble (excluding low molecular weight variants) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
