Abstract
Since 1960, studies have been carried out to assess the feasibility of various bioabsorbable polymers for use in surgical implants. The studies indicate principally homopolymers and copolymers such as, poly (L-lactic acid), PLLA, poly(glycolic acid) PGA, polycaprolactone, PCL, poly(p-dioxanone), PDS. The results obtained facilitated the introduction of various absorbable devices on the ma…
