Bioscaff™ Alvelac™ is a porous PLGA (poly lactic co glycolic acid) scaffold produced using a proprietary and patented technology. PLGA, a non-toxic, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, is FDA approved. The scaffold is designed with macro channels and micro-pores. The osteoblast will reproduce on the scaffold. Differentiation will take place subsequently, forming the required bone as the scaffold degrades. It breaks down into lactic acid and glycolic acid, which are metabolised in the body and excreted as carbon dioxide and water. This process typically occurs over a time frame of two to six months.
