PLGA

PLGA, PLG, or poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (CAS: 26780-50-7 ) is a biodegradable, biocompatible copolymer of lactic and glycolic acid used widely in biomedical devices and tissue-engineering materials approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). PLA (Polylactic-acid) and Polyglycolic-acid (PLG) co-polymer. copolymers (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) with lactic acid are widely used as a material for the synthesis of absorbable sutures and are being evaluated in the biomedical field
