PLCL
[Product Name] Lactide-Caprolactone Copolymer
[Chemical Name] PLCL, copolymer of L-lactide and ε-caprolactone
[English Name] Lactide-caprolactone copolymer
[CAS No.] 65408-67-5
[Molecular Formula] C12H18O6
[Product Application] Firstly, PLCL has a wide range of applications in the field of medical devices. PLCL materials possess excellent plasticity and processability, enabling them to be fabricated into medical devices of various shapes and sizes through various methods (such as injection molding, hot pressing, etc.). For instance, PLCL stents used in vascular reconstruction surgery provide superior mechanical support and biodegradability without causing any adverse effects on the human body. Furthermore, PLCL is also utilized in the manufacture of medical devices such as artificial joints and sutures.
