At Nomisma Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., we offer PLGA 85:15 (Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)), a biodegradable polymer designed for medical applications, specifically in the Rapidsorb Fixation System. This system is used for fracture repair and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton in pediatric and adult patients.
What is PLGA 85:15?
PLGA 85:15 is composed of 85% poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and 15% poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), providing an ideal balance of mechanical strength and controlled biodegradation, making it perfect for resorbable implants.
Applications in Rapidsorb Fixation System
PLGA 85:15 7E is used in the production of resorbable implants, meshes, sheets, screws, and tacks for fracture repair and craniofacial reconstruction. As the body heals, the implant gradually resorbs, eliminating the need for a second surgery.
Why Choose PLGA 85:15?
- Biodegradability: Degrades into safe byproducts, reducing the risk of complications.
- Controlled Degradation: The 85:15 ratio ensures optimal mechanical strength and predictable degradation.
- Versatility: Suitable for both pediatric and adult craniofacial repair applications.
End Group: Ester
The ester end group in PLGA 85:15 ensures stability during polymerization and controlled degradation, contributing to non-toxic byproducts for safer healing.
Molecular Weight
The typical molecular weight ranges from 50,000 to 150,000 Da, ensuring the material has sufficient strength for fixation while allowing for controlled biodegradation.
Routes of Administration
PLGA 85:15 is used in implants, resorbable meshes, sheets, screws, and tacks, supporting healing during fracture repair and craniofacial reconstruction.
Intended Use
PLGA 85:15 is ideal for both pediatric and adult craniofacial fracture repairs. It provides strong support during healing and resorbs as natural bone tissue regenerates, avoiding the need for a second surgery.
Conclusion
PLGA 85:15 combines biocompatibility, controlled degradation, and mechanical strength, making it the ideal choice for the Rapidsorb Fixation System in craniofacial repair and reconstruction.
