Here is a good overview from early 2000's.

What are you looking for in terms of data?  Explanation of degradation profiles? Surgical experiences? Processing methods? Long term outcomes? Clinical evidence? Histology?

Outside of the typical PLA/PGA/PCL polymers a recent entry into the market is also pretty interesting - it uses some P4HB chemistry (Phasix / Galatea)  https://www.davol.com/product-listing/sp/phasix-mesh/

Hi Benjamin,

thank you fpr the reference. Nice overview, almost 20 years old, but nevertheless useful. 

I´m interested in the diversity of biodegradable polymer medical devices. Besides surgical sutures and pins are there any more complex medical devices approved by the FDA? An up to date overview would really be helpful.

Lorenza,

thank you for your advise. I will give it a try.

does anybody know where I can find some info in regards of bioresorbable polymer production for medical devices ? is it mandatory that the polymer production (bacterial fermentation) is done in GMP certified labs? ISO13485? or let s say that doing a process validation of the fermentation followed by a DSP under GMP and/or ISO13485 would be enough?

thank you in advance for any feedback

Monica
