The interest in biodegradable polymers in the medical and pharmaceutical field stems from the need for extended sustained release drug delivery systems; and degradable medical devices that do not require human intervention for removal from the body. PEG polymers are ideal candidates as a polymeric backbone, as they have successful applications for wound sealing and healing, controlled drug delivery, and tissue engineering.

Synthetic JenKem PEG derivatives and PEG co-polymers offer several advantages over other biodegradable polymers:

[unordered_list style=”bullet”]

  • Highly hydrophilic
  • Facile introduction of functional groups for drug attachment
  • Production of JenKem PEGs back-integrated to ethylene oxide raw material
  • Predictable lot-to-lot consistency and raw material sourcing
  • No immunogenicity issues normally associated with natural polymers [/unordered_list]
