Abstract

Polymers are a group of compounds commonly encountered in everyday life. However, due to the increasing incidence of cancer, allergies and progressive environmental pollution, it is becoming essential to design new chemical compounds that would be safe. Particular attention is paid to the resorbability of compounds and their biodegradability. These features seem to be particularly important in broadly understood orthopedics, surgery or aesthetic medicine. This article, which is a continuation of the undertaken topic, presents examples of polymers and their application, among others, during surgical operations, orthopedic procedures or broadly understood dermatology. Particular emphasis is given to specific properties of the polymer that determine its usefulness in a given medical discipline.

Keywords:

polymer, application, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology
