Poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO)(CAT: M440063) is a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer widely applied in biomedical materials research and clinical practice. With excellent flexibility and moderate strength, PPDO offers a balanced profile between mechanical stability and degradation rate. Upon hydrolysis, it breaks down into p-dioxanone derivatives that are safely metabolized by the body. Its slow and uniform resorption makes it especially valuable in long-term absorbable sutures, cardiovascular stents, orthopedic fixation devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds. PPDO’s unique elasticity, knot security, and predictable degradation profile distinguish it from other aliphatic polyesters, providing researchers and clinicians with a versatile platform for advanced bioresorbable medical device innovation.
