Poly(Dioxanone-co-lactide-co-glycolide) (PDO-PLGA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible copolymer used in biomedical devices including staples, sutures, meshes, coatings, and controlled drug delivery. PDO-PLGA is degraded by hydrolysis via ester linkages and has a biodegradation timeframe in months. The addition of lactide and glycolide also denote greater flexibility to the polymer structure.
