Poly-Med, Inc. provides fully traceable, implant-grade materials that offer customized product solutions when an implant does not need to permanently remain in the body. 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 in implantable medical devices for treatment and degrade over time when the scaffold is no longer required. Poly-Med offers a catalog of bioresorbable polymers that include linear polymers such as polydioxanone (PDO) and polyglycolide-co-lactide (PGLA). Our block copolymers are designed with segmented degradation properties including our Glycoprene®, Lactoprene®, and Strataprene® polymer series.

We offer a wide variety of flowable absorbable polymers that can act as implantable depots for APIs or other granule-based materials.
Our Viscoprene® depot system is a unique and novel liquid block copolymer that conforms to a semi-solid structure when exposed to aqueous settings. This highly customizable polymer depot can act as a binding agent for granule-based materials or as an excipient for APIs.
In combination with our Viscoprene® system, or as a standalone additive, we offer our viscosity modifier, Moduprene®, as a way to tailor the flowable characteristics of liquid polymers and degradation profiles of our materials. This low-molecular weight particulate system is also able to extend long-term drug delivery systems from days to weeks.
