PLGA polymers have been extensively used for a number of drug delivery and medical device applications. However, many of the new applications have product and functional requirements that PLGA polymers cannot meet. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of various class of monomers and polymers and technology platforms beyond PLGA which were developed by our company that can be used in variety of medical device and drug delivery applications. These absorbable polymers include  functionalized amino acid based polymers, absorbable polyesteramides, absorbable polyurethanes, PDS based copolymers, polymers derived from functionalized phenolics and NO releasing absorbable polymers.
