Antigen Information
Introduction
Poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is a well-established biodegradable polymer used in medical devices and drug delivery applications. In comparison to poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), PLGA offers control over degradation rate and reduced glass transition temperatures (by increasing glycolide content). The control of these properties makes PLGA especially well suited for applications where medical devices are only needed for weeks (e.g. drug delivery).
Alternative Names
PLLGA, PLGA, L-PLGA
