Polymers in Medicine

Polymers in medicine are large, flexible molecules made up of many repeating units, similar to long chains. They are used to create materials that can interact safely with the body, such as biodegradable sutures, drug delivery systems, and implants. These polymers can be engineered to dissolve over time, release medication gradually, or mimic natural tissues. Their versatility allows for innovative treatments and improved patient outcomes by providing customizable, biocompatible solutions tailored to specific medical needs.
