Influence of Annealing and Biaxial Expansion on the Properties of Poly(<span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Lactic Acid) Medical Tubing

Poly-<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-lactic acid (PLLA) is one of the most common bioabsorbable materials in the medical device field. However, its use in load-bearing applications is limited due to its inferior mechanical properties when compared to many of th...
