Polyglycolide (PGA)(CAT: M440065) is a high-strength, biodegradable aliphatic polyester widely used in biomedical materials research. As one of the earliest bioresorbable polymers, PGA is renowned for its exceptional crystallinity, tensile strength, and predictable hydrolytic degradation profile. It degrades into glycolic acid, a naturally metabolized compound, ensuring excellent biocompatibility. PGA has been extensively applied in surgical sutures, tissue engineering scaffolds, and controlled drug release systems, where mechanical durability and predictable resorption are critical. Its ability to form copolymers with lactide or caprolactone further expands its versatility, making PGA a cornerstone material for developing advanced bioresorbable medical devices and regenerative solutions.
