Usage

General Description

1,6-Dioxecane-2,5-dione, also known as p-dioxanone, is a chemical compound commonly used in the production of medical sutures. Its unique ring structure and biodegradability make it suitable for use in absorbable surgical sutures. P-dioxanone is classified as a cyclic carbonate and is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature. It is also used in the synthesis of polycarbonates and copolymers, and has potential applications in drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. This chemical is considered to be relatively safe and is used in medical practices as a material for absorbable surgical sutures.
