Resorbable Compounds

Calcium phosphates are integrated into poly lactic acid implants to control its degradation profile. The presence of this additive may reduce autocatalysis and thus lead to a more homogenously distributed degradation.

Poly lactic acid - calcium phosphate compound

The inclusion of calcium phosphates may be advantageous for degradable implants applied within bone by reducing osteolysis which may result from the release of acidic degradation products. Poly lactic acid - calcium phosphate compound
