The Use of Polylactic Acid to Obtain Biodegradable Medical Devices

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polylactic acid, due to such properties as biocompatibility, inertness to aggressive media of the human body and biodegradability is becoming more widespread in medicine, particularly in traumatology and reconstructive surgery. The article discusses modern developments in the field of biodegradable medical products based on polylactic acid that are already on the market or planned for production in the near future. Also considered the major major producers of polylactic acid.
