Polycaprolactone

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable plastic derived from petroleum that is used in medical and industrial applications. It is flexible, biocompatible, and slowly dissolves in the body or the environment over time, making it suitable for things like biodegradable implants, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds. PCL can be shaped into various forms through molding or 3D printing, offering versatility for innovative solutions. Its slow degradation rate allows it to provide support or containment for extended periods before safely breaking down, reducing long-term environmental impact and eliminating the need for removal surgeries in medical procedures.
