Degradable polymers, also referred to as bioresorbable polymers, are frequently used in a variety of biomedical applications, including suturing thread, arterial stents, vascular grafts, intravenous drug-delivery systems, temporary bone fixation devices, and degradable sutures. Due to their precise control over material composition and microstructure, these polymers are used to replace metallic orthopedic devices. The bioresorbable polymers polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and poly (lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) copolymers are some of the bioresorbable polymers used in medical applications. The most widely used bioresorbable polymer is polylactic acid (PLA), also known as polylactide. Sutures, drug delivery systems, orthopedic medicine, and synthetic grafts are some of its main applications.

In many applications, Bioresorbable Polymers implants are quickly replacing conventional implants. These implants are only needed to function for a short time, usually a few weeks or months. PLA is made from renewable resources like sugarcane or corn starch. PLA polymers are thought to be compostable and biodegradable. Thermoplastic PLA is a high-strength, high-modulus polymer that can be produced from yearly renewable sources to produce items for use in the industrial packaging industry or in the manufacturing of biocompatible/bioabsorbable medical devices.

The transplantation of autologous cells is one of the most promising methods for skeletal regeneration using Bioresorbable Polymers scaffolds. Pre-osteoblasts from the patient may be isolated, expanded, and differentiated in culture before being seeded onto the proper scaffold (Crane et al. 1995). The construct is transplanted to the wound site after further cell culture in the scaffold. This technique, which is the most popular in tissue engineering, enables patient cells to create an ECM with the right structural characteristics and signalling molecules under carefully controlled culture conditions.

To promote bone growth during degradation, these polymers can be melt blended with bone growth additives like tricalcium phosphate (TCP) or hydroxyapetite acid (HA). Additionally, because many bioresorbable polymers have low melt temperatures, it is possible to melt-blend active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for controlled-release drug delivery during degradation.

Composites made of bioresorbable polymers for use in tissue engineering. With a focus on recent bioresorbable composites made of natural and synthetic polymers, a variety of commercially available bioresorbable polymers are described. Bioresorbable polymers have hydrolyzable bonds that can be broken down chemically either through enzyme-catalyzed active hydrolysis or reactive hydrolysis.
