<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), CAS 26780-50-7, is a biodegradable copolymer synthesized via ring-opening polymerization. Its <strong>general formula</strong> reflects the random arrangement of lactic and glycolic acid units, enabling tunable degradation rates.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Drug Delivery:</strong> Sustained-release microcapsules for peptides and vaccines.</li>
<li><strong>Tissue Engineering:</strong> Biocompatible scaffolds for bone and cartilage regeneration.</li>
<li><strong>Surgical Devices:</strong> Absorbable sutures and orthopedic fixation pins.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate PPE during handling. Clinical use requires strict adherence to regulatory approval for specific indications.</p>
