The LactoSorb® implants are made of bioresorbable and biocompatible polymer that have been used in surqical procedures for years. LactoSorb® resorbable copolymer is a synthetic polyester derived from lactic and glycolic acids. Polylactic/polyglycolic (PLA/PGA) acid copolymer degrades and resorbs IN VIVO by hydrolysis to lactic and glycolic acids which are then metabolized by the body. The safety of PLA/PGA material has been well documented since the early 1970's when the FDA first approved the use of resorbable PLA/PGA sutures. The exact same LactoSorb® material has been implanted in for over 10 years in Poly humans Surqiclip® device manufactured by United States Surgical Corporation. The LactoSorb® material has been found to be biocompatible in both soft and hard bone tissue.
