General description
Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is a biodegradable andbioabsorbable polymer that is widely used in the formulation of implantable andinjectable drug delivery systems. PLGA material induces minimal inflammatoryresponse inside the body and degrades to produce biocompatible lactic andglycolic acids.
