Comparison of PGA and PLA Fibers

摘要：

INTRODUCTION Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) belong to the family of Poly-a-hydroxyesters. This family of degradable polymers has been approved to be used for a variety of clinical applications by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In recent years, PGA and PLA fibers have used in tendon/ligament tissue engineering as scaffold materials131. The scaffold must provide a site for cells and mechanical strength before tissue formation. The scaffold material determines the initial properties, degradability, and biocompatibility of the scaffold. In this work, the initial mechanical property, degradability and biocompatibility of the two kinds of fibers were compared.
