For decades, medical implants have largely relied on metals, silicone, and other non-degradable materials. These devices provide excellent stability, but once implanted, they remain in the body indefinitely unless removed through an additional surgical procedure. This permanence has long been accompanied by chronic inflammation, delayed healing, and long-term complications that can...
Biodegradable polyesters have become one of the most influential material families driving innovation in contemporary medical devices. Their hydrolysable ester bonds, tunable molecular architecture, and excellent biocompatibility create a unique balance between mechanical performance and controlled degradation. This combination allows implants to provide structural or functional support...
At the intersection of modern medicine and aesthetics, a material revolution is quietly unfolding. Biodegradable polyester materials, with their unique properties and environmental advantages, have emerged as a powerful driving force behind the innovation and future development of regenerative aesthetic filler products. They are not only redefining the sustainability of beauty but also bringing...
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a bioabsorbable and biocompatible synthetic polymer widely used in aesthetic medicine and tissue repair. It was initially developed as a degradable suture material and has now become an FDA-approved injectable implant for facial volume restoration and wrinkle correction. The uniqueness of PLLA lies in its ability to gradually stimulate collagen production,...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a high-performance biodegradable polyester synthesized through the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone.
As a semi-crystalline polymer with excellent mechanical flexibility, chemical stability, and biocompatibility, PCL has attracted growing attention across medical, industrial, and sustainable materials applications.
