Absorbable medical device development has been hindered by a lack of materials that can exhibit a wide range of tensile moduli similar to the various tissues where devices are implanted. Poly-Med, Inc. offers a solution to these challenges by manufacturing next-generation absorbable block copolymers that exhibit increased toughness and biocompatibility as compared to traditional linear homopolymers and random copolymers. Poly-Med, Inc. can achieve preferred mechanical and biological properties by controlling the chemical composition and polymer structure based on the intended application.
Poly-Med’s bioabsorbable polymers are designed with segmented block copolymer structures, increasing toughness and elasticity.
