Poly-Med, Inc. provides fully traceable, implant-grade polymers 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 workhorse polymers such as polydioxanone (PDO) and polyglycolide-co-lactide (PGLA). Our high-performance polymers are designed with segmented degradation properties including our Glycoprene®, Lactoprene®, and Strataprene® polymer series.
