Application

Regenerez® Poly(glycerol sebacate) is a bioresorbable elastomer. The physical properties can be tuned from an elastomer to a thermoset(U.S. Patent No. 9.359,472) by curing PGS to the desired level of cross-linking. The inherent elastomeric properties of PGS can be used in a variety of applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Features and Benefits

  • Bioresorbable.
  • Comprised of naturally occurring metabolites (glycerol and sebacic acid).
  • Tunable mechanical properties.
  • Versatile platform for further modification.
  • Closely simulates modulus of human tissue.
  • Enables healing without harmful immune response.

For bone engineering, the optimal scaffolding material and composition has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS), an elastomer known primarily for its soft tissue regeneration ability, as a suitable substrate to support osteo-precursor

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of poly(glycerol) sebacate (PGS) films for the prevention of visceroparietal peritoneal (VP) adhesions and demonstrate the ease of laparoscopic PGS film placement. Peritoneal adhesions occur in nearly 95% of all
