Absorbable Polymers inc., specializes in the preparation of biodegradable polymers from Glycolide Lactide and ε caprolactone Monomers for use in medical applications

Properties of these polymers can be tailored from soft elastomeric materials to rigid engineering plastics.

A large percentage of work at API is devoted to the development of polymers with customized characteristics like :

• Polymer molecular weight
• Vary monomers and molecular ratios to give desired drug release profile
• Tailor Polymers with hydroxy, ester , carboxylic acid to influence hydrophilicity, degradation and drug release rate.

Few of the commercialised polymers are :
