Bioresorbable Polymers Can Replace Damaged Tissues and Aid in Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Osteoarthritis, and Other Arthritic Conditions
With the advancement of technology and new discoveries in biotechnology, the world is gradually seeing the birth of new medical technologies. Bioresorbable polymer material is one such breakthrough, which promises to revolutionize the way we use and take care of our bodies. These polymers, also known as biodegradable polymers, are polymer materials, which can be safely absorbed by the body. Natural biodegradable polymers include chitosan, collagen, chitin, alginate, and gelatin. Collagen is a naturally occurring substance in the body that serves as a structural tissue. As we age, our body produces less collagen leading to the deterioration of our joints. Biodegradable chitosan derivatives have the ability to substitute collagen in body tissues thus replacing joints damaged by age or disease. Bioresorbable polymers can replace damaged tissues so as to make it functional again. Biodegradable chitosan derivatives are majorly used in alternative medical treatments for the treatment of
