Why are Biodegradable Polymers Important in Pediatrics?
In pediatrics, the use of biodegradable polymers is particularly advantageous due to their ability to reduce the need for secondary surgeries to remove non-degradable materials. This is especially important for children, who may require multiple surgeries as they grow. The polymers' ability to degrade naturally within the body minimizes long-term foreign body reactions and the risk of chronic inflammation.
