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] PLCL has a wide range of applications in the field of medical devices. Possessing excellent plasticity and processability, PLCL materials can be fabricated into diverse medical devices through various methods (such as injection molding and hot pressing). For instance, PLCL stents used in vascular reconstruction surgery provide superior mechanical support and biodegradability without causing any adverse effects on the human body. Additionally, PLCL is utilized in the manufacture of critical medical applications such as artificial joints and surgical sutures.
