Polymerization in Medicine: Revolutionizing Drug Delivery and Biomedical Devices

Abstract

Roberto Guedes

Polymerization, the process of combining small molecules to form large macromolecules, has emerged as a game-changer in the field of medicine. In particular, polymerization plays a pivotal role in the development of innovative drug delivery systems and biomedical devices, offering new avenues for enhanced therapeutic outcomes and patient care. Polymer-based drug delivery systems represent a cutting-edge approach in the field of medicine, offering precise control over drug release kinetics, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing adverse effects. This innovative strategy involves the use of polymers to design and fabricate delivery systems that can encapsulate, protect and deliver therapeutic agents in a controlled and targeted manner.
