Bioabsorbable Polymers

Bioabsorbable Polymers is a class of polymeric materials that belong to the broader category of biomaterials used in fixation devices, distinguished by their ability to gradually degrade and be metabolically absorbed by the body after fulfilling their mechanical function, thereby eliminating the need for surgical removal.
