Effects of the Manufacturing Methods on the Mechanical Properties of a Medical-Grade Copolymer Poly(L-Lactide-co-D,L-Lactide) and Poly(L-Lactide-co-ɛ-Caprolactone) Blend
Biocompatible and biodegradable polymers represent the future in the manufacturing of medical implantable solutions. As of today, these are generally manufactured with metallic components which cannot be naturally absorbed within the human body. This requires performing an additional surgical procedure to remove the remnants after complete rehabilitation or to leave the devices in situ indefinitely.
