Product Description

Poly Lactic Acid Polymer Overview

Application: Poly (L-lactic acid) is a bioabsorbable degradable material. It has good bioabsorbability and biocompatibility. The degradation of polylactic acid in vivo can be divided into two stages. First, the lactic acid monomer is hydrolyzed, and then the lactic acid monomer is transformed into pyruvate under the action of lactic acid dehydrogenase, and then it enters the mitochondria and is completely oxidized and decomposed to generate carbon dioxide and water.

The products made from polylactic acid have good biocompatibility. After being degraded in vivo, the products are metabolized and eliminated from the body without harmful or toxic side effects on the human body. Therefore, they are widely used in the medical field, such as disposable transfusion equipment and non-disassembly surgical sutures. Controlled release and sustained-release drug packaging agent; Tissue engineering scaffolds, bone fixation and repair materials, injection microcapsules, microspheres, implants, and animal organ support elastomers, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Poly (L-lactic acid) PLLA-R?
PLLA-R is a medical-grade, bioabsorbable, and biodegradable thermoplastic aliphatic polyester. It is widely used for tissue engineering and medical implants due to its excellent biocompatibility.
2. How does PLLA degrade in the human body?
The degradation occurs in two stages: first, the lactic acid monomer is hydrolyzed. Then, it is transformed into pyruvate and eventually oxidized into carbon dioxide and water, which are safely eliminated by the body.
3. What are the recommended storage conditions?
To maintain its initial properties, PLLA-R should be stored in its original packaging at low temperatures between 2°C and 8°C.
4. What is the shelf life of this polymer?
When stored under the correct conditions (below 25°C, ideally 2-8°C), the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years.
5. Is the material suitable for drug delivery systems?
Yes, it is highly suitable for controlled-release drug packaging, injection microcapsules, microspheres, and nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery.
