Poly-Med, Inc. provides fully traceable, implant-grade materials that may be used in injection molding processing to form solid parts, extrusion to form multifilament yarns, monofilament fibers, films, & 3D printing filaments, and electrospun into nanofibrous materials. Our bioresorbable polymers are manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility and under an ISO 13485-certified quality system.
Bioresorbable polymers, also known as bioabsorbable polymers, are synthetic materials that can be utilized processing including but not limited to injection molding, extrusion, & electrospinning to creat implantable medical devices. Contact Poly-Med today for a free consultation for selecting the most appropriate polymer for your next-generation injection molded, extruded, or electrospun bioresorbable medical device.
Max-Prene® PGLA-based linear random copolymers and Glycoprene® PGA/TMC/ɛ-Caprolactone polyaxial block copolymers can be injection molded into parts with strength loss ranging from 1 – 4 weeks and mass loss from 1 – 6 months depending on the formulation, processing conditions, physiological environment, and anatomical location.
Dioxaprene® PDO-based linear homopolymers can be injection molded into parts with strength loss ranging from 4 – 6 weeks and mass loss from 6 – 9 months depending on processing conditions, physiological environment, and anatomical location.
Lactoprene® PLLA/TMC and PLLA/TMC/ɛ-Caprolactone linear block copolymers can be injection molded into parts with strength loss ranging from 3 – 12 months and mass loss from 12 – 36 months depending on the formulation, processing conditions, physiological environment, and anatomical location.
Strataprene® PGA/TMC/ɛ-Caprolactone polyaxial block copolymers with increased toughness and extensibility that can be injection molded into parts with strength loss ranging from 1 – 2 months and mass loss from 6 – 9 months depending on the formulation, processing conditions, physiological environment, and anatomical location.
We support client medical device ideas with advanced absorbable materials and processing.
Absorbable polymers can transform the healing process by temporarily restoring functionality in targeted areas. After use, they resorb within the body without a trace, minimizing the need for follow up surgical procedures.
Our polymers can be extruded into monofilament fibers, multifilament yarns, or films as inputs into biomedical textile applications. Don’t design for a filament, select the filament for your design.
Our polymers can be constructed into a variety of fibrous articles and medical textiles. More polymers equal more responsive designs, with better outcomes. Don’t design for a polymer, select the polymer for your design.
Regenerative scaffolds aim to mimic the physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological cues observed in a normal tissue environment. This technology can be tailored to partially, or fully, absorb during the healing process.
Create lattice-based architectures with 3D-printed absorbable implants via filament-based and resin-based approaches that are inaccessible via injection molding.
Our polymeric materials can be used as excipients to allow for facile processing with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and customizable continued-release profiles for combination medical devices.
Our approach yields consistent quality, consistent results, and a consistent product in a faster timeline.
Our Design & Development process supports our customers from concept through manufacturing.
We produce an array of absorbable products, from polymer to finished medical devices, in an ISO-certified environment.
Analytical characterization is a cornerstone of our business and how we help our clients assess absorbable materials.
Our quality management system and ISO 13485 certification are keys to our quality-controlled methodology.
