| The substance in Tunc's study is made by linking lactide monomers into a much longer "polylactide" polymer than had ever been achieved before. An expanded line of resorbable glycolide and lactide Medisorb polymers and copolymers, designed for medical applications, was launched last year by Du Pont Co. The SynBiosys polymer system is a family of patent-pending biodegradable multi-block copolymers that is based on novel combinations of well-known and regulatory approved building blocks, such as lactide, glycolide, caprolactone and polyethylene glycol. |
