Additional Information
- CAS number
- 29223-92-5
- Applications
- Medical (Surgery instruments, sutures)
- Advantages
- biodegradable
low residual monomer content
excellent mechanical properties
enhanced flexibility due to the presence of an ether oxygen within the backbone of the polymer chain
Offers an effective custom synthesis service tailored to individual product requirements
When used in vivo, it degrades into monomers
low toxicity
lower modulus than PLA or PGA
Renewable Resource Content
- Handling
- For the production of sutures, PDS is generally extruded into fibers at the lowest possible temperature, in order to avoid its spontaneous de polymerization back to the monomer., DIN EN ISO 9001 certification
