    Researchers at the Russian National Research University of Technology have successfully improved the properties of basic medical materials with shape memory effects


    Polylactide is a polymer used for suture fixation and other auxiliary tasks in surgery


    The scientist explained that the use of this implant can avoid laborious adjustments to the injured area, which will greatly facilitate the work of the surgeon and reduce the operation time


    Scientists say that polylactide has only one obvious disadvantage, that is, the temperature at which the shape memory effect (SME) is activated (55-65°C) is too high for the human body


    The new material is a polylactide matrix that contains spherical inclusions of another polymer, polycaprolactone
