General description

Resomer® L 210 S, Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), a high-performance bio-based polymer, can be prepared from corn starch. Its properties include biodegradability, hydrophobicity, and excellent composting characteristics.

Application

Biodegradable, biocompatible, and bioresorbable polymer composed of L-Lactide. This semi-crystalline material has been used in the fabrication of research medical devices and research tissue engineering solutions, such as orthopedic or soft tissue fixation devices. Degradation of this materials has been thoroughly studied and has been shown to be safely resorbed by the body after implantation. Modification of molecular weight and polymer composition allows for control of the degradation rate and mechanical stability of the polymer.
PLLA can be used as a resorbable implant material for potential usage in biomedical applications. It can also be used in the formation of composite ceramic material for biological applications.
