Episode #121| Absorbable Biomaterials with Dr. Rao Bezwada

JUL 30, 202651 MIN

Description

Absorbable biomaterials have transformed modern medicine, enabling implants, sutures, and drug-delivery systems that safely degrade once their function is complete. Dr. Rao S. Bezwada has helped shape the field of bioresorbable polymers for more than three decades. As the inventor of Monocryl®, the absorbable suture that has generated more than $2 billion in worldwide sales, and the holder of more than 150 U.S. patents, his innovations have influenced everything from surgical sutures to next-generation biomaterials. In this episode of The Lattice, Dr. Bezwada joins Dr. Jenny Chen to discuss the science behind bioresorbable polymers, the chemistry that controls how materials degrade, and what the next generation of resorbable biomaterials could make possible. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
