Description

PLGA 85:15 Poly (Lactic-co-Glycolic acid) is a transparent and slightly golden amorphous thermoplastic. It degrades between 12 to 24 months once implanted. The polymer is quite rigid because at room temperature it is above the glass transition. This material is generally used for bone implants and tissue engineering. It can be mixed with hydroxyapatite or beta-TCP.

Storage

Store the materials in the same conditions as when you received them, i.e. vacuum-packed with a desiccant bag. Store them away from light and at a low temperature (between -4° and -20°C). If not used for a prolonged period (several weeks), return the materials to these conditions to prevent premature deterioration.
