Widely used in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable and biocompatible properties. Commonly employed in drug delivery systems, where it controls the release rate of therapeutic agents over time. Frequently used in the fabrication of microspheres and nanoparticles for targeted and sustained delivery of drugs, including cancer therapeutics and vaccines. Also utilized in tissue engineering as a scaffold material, supporting cell growth and tissue regeneration. Its degradation into naturally occurring metabolites makes it suitable for implantable medical devices such as sutures, stents, and orthopedic fixation devices. The tunable degradation rate, based on monomer ratio, allows customization for specific clinical needs.
