Widely used in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable and biocompatible nature. 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 drug delivery. Also utilized in tissue engineering scaffolds, supporting cell growth and tissue regeneration. Found in surgical sutures that degrade naturally in the body, eliminating the need for removal. Its mechanical properties and degradation rate can be tailored by adjusting the monomer ratio, making it suitable for various medical devices and implants.
