Poly(L-lactide) is a biodegradable polymer for medical device and pharmaceutical applications. It is used to fabricate resorbable medical devices that degrade over months in physiological conditions. 

Drug Delivery including coating nanoparticles; end-group functionalization; macroinitiator or block precursor.

PLLA can be used as a resorbable implant material for potential usage in biomedical applications. It can also be used in the formation of composite ceramic material for biological applications.

Poly (L-lactide) is a semi-crystalline polymer which exhibits strong optical rotation and good mechanical properties. It is mostly used in the synthesis of degradable polymers which are used in orthopaedic devices, in dental applications, as scaffolds for autografted new skin, wound covers, anastomose systems and stents. They are biodegradable since the polyester backbone degrades by simple hydrolysis to form non-toxic compounds.
