Application of biodegradable polycaprolactone in medicine

Polycaprolactone is an FDA-approved biodegradable polymer. By virtue of the ability to naturally degrade in tissue, polycaprolactone hold immense promise as new meterial for application in tissue engineering. The article introduces some major properties of polycaprolactone and recently experimental progress in biomedical applications. The article also points out the problems in application and the direction in the future.
