PLGA, or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), is a biodegradable polymer made from the copolymerization of lactic acid and glycolic acid. It is widely used in medical applications due to its biocompatibility and controlled degradation properties, making it ideal for drug delivery systems, including drug-eluting stents that gradually release medication to prevent restenosis after vascular procedures.
