There are various types of absorbable materials used in medical and histological applications. Some of the most common include:
Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) - Used in sutures and implants, PGA is known for its strength and predictable absorption rate. Polylactic Acid (PLA) - Utilized in a wide range of medical devices, PLA is appreciated for its biocompatibility. Polydioxanone (PDO) - Often used in sutures, PDO offers a balance between strength and flexibility.
