Fixed

Polyhydroxyessigsäure, and polyglycolic acid (PGA), is a polyester, which is used as a medical suture, as it can be absorbed by the body. The hydrolysis by which the material is degraded, resulting in a complete absorption in about 60-90 days

Production

Glycolide dimer of Hydroxyacetic polymerized anionically to Polyhydroxyessigsäure.
