Application
Glycolide (CAS: 502-97-6) is an important biodegradable polymer monomer widely used in medical and environmental fields.
Main purpose:
1.Surgical sutures:Polyethylene glycol (PGA) and its copolymers have good biocompatibility and absorbency, and are commonly used to manufacture surgical sutures that can be absorbed by the human body.
2.Drug sustained release system:As a drug carrier, Glycolide can achieve controlled release of drugs in the body, improve efficacy, and reduce side effects.
3.Tissue engineering:Glycolide is used to construct scaffold materials that support cell growth and tissue regeneration.
4.Bone fixation and repair:Glycolide can be used as implants such as bone nails, bone plates, etc., which can gradually degrade after bone healing, avoiding secondary surgical removal.
5.Artificial skin and blood vessels:Glycolide can provide temporary structural support and promote natural tissue repair.
6.Biodegradable plastics:Glycolide can be used to manufacture environmentally friendly packaging materials, straws, courier bags, etc., replacing traditional non biodegradable plastics and reducing "white pollution".
Material characteristic advantages
1.Fully biodegradable:Glycolide ultimately decomposes into water and carbon dioxide in the body or natural environment, with no toxic residue.
2.Co-polymerization adjustable performance:Glycolide can copolymerize with other cyclic monomers such as lactide to regulate degradation rate, mechanical strength, etc., meeting the needs of different application scenarios.
Storage
1.Glycolide is a biodegradable material. During storage, Glycolide should avoid contact with water, acidic substances, alkaline substances, alcohol reagents, and other reagents that can cause product degradation.
2.Glycolide should be sealed, stored in a dry and low-temperature environment(frozen in a refrigerator at -20°C), and sealed with a sealing machine (residual products after use should not be stored in self sealing bags).
3.When using Glycolide, take it out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature. Wait until it reaches room temperature to wipe off any condensed moisture on the surface of the packaging bag before opening it (if it is not opened at the same temperature after being taken out of the refrigerator, moisture in the air will condense onto the surface of the product, causing it to degrade). The air humidity in the environment during use should be less than 35% to avoid residual products getting damp and affecting product quality.
