Description:
Due to excellent performance such as biocompatibility, shape memory properties, and biodegradability, Polycaprolactone (PCL) is widely applicable across various fields. PCL is a soft material with superior performance, while it is easy to process. So people regard it as a suitable material for tissue engineering scaffolds. PCL has strong crystallinity and degrades slowly. In vivo degradation occurs in two phases: the first phase involves a continuous decrease in molecular weight without deformation or weight loss; the second phase begins once the molecular weight reaches a certain threshold, leading to material weight loss as it is gradually absorbed and excreted by the body.
Applications include surgical sutures, orthopedic splints, radiation therapy boards, resin bandages, and dental impressions in the surgical medical field; it can be also used in other aspect like the polyurethane resin, packaging and film.

Storage Instructions:
■ This series of products is made from biodegradable materials. During storage, it should be kept away from water, acidic substances, alkaline substances, alcohol-based reagents, and other agents that may cause degradation.
■ The products should be stored in a sealed, dry, and low-temperature environment (frozen at -20 degrees Celsius in a refrigerator). Use a sealing machine for packaging (remaining unused products should not be stored in self-sealing bags).
