General description

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is a biodegradable andbioabsorbable polymer that is widely used in the formulation of implantable andinjectable drug delivery systems. PLGA material induces minimal inflammatoryresponse inside the body and degrades to produce biocompatible lactic andglycolic acids.

Chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair occurs in 16% to 62% of patients. The underlying mechanism probably involves sensory nerve damage and abnormal healing that might be influenced by the materials chosen for the procedure. We hypothesize that nonabsorbable sutures

Interest in utilizing biodegradable polymers for biomedical applications has grown since the 1960s.

The world of commercial biomaterials has stagnated over the past 30 years as few materials have successfully transitioned from the bench to clinical use. Synthetic aliphatic polyesters have continued to dominate the field of resorbable biomaterials due to their long history and track record of approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Aliphatic polyesters such as polylactide, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) and polycaprolactone, as well as their copolymers, represent a diverse family of synthetic biodegradable polymers that have been widely explored for medical uses and are commercially available.
