What are bioabsorbable polymers ?
Bioabsorbable polymers are a special class of plastic materials that allow the material to serve a function, and then gradually break down, metabolise and be eliminated from the body.It is imperative to match the degradation time with the initial period during which the material must function.The ideal bioabsorbable material will provide appropriate strength while degrading in a predictable fashion without adverse reactions occurring in the body throughout the healing process.
