Did you mean Polycaprolactone?

GlossaryPolycaprolactone

biodegradable polyester used in medical applications

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable polyester with a low melting point, commonly used in medical applications such as sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Its biocompatibility and slow degradation rate make it particularly useful for long-term implants and controlled release of medications.
