Description:
Polyglycolide (PGA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polymer with bioresorbability; and biocompatibility. The biodegradation primarily occurs through simple hydrolysis in a short period. By adjusting the molecular weight of PGA and copolymerizing it with other components, materials with excellent processability, biodegradability, physical properties, mechanical properties and other characteristics can be synthesized. The main applications of PGA include sutures, drug delivery carriers, and scaffolds for cell culture and transplantation, as well as organ regeneration.

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).
