ABSTRACT
In this article, some basic properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG)
gel will be briefly introduced, together with the clinical advantages
as well as the effects observed during the study of this polymer
for biomedical purposes. Although the practical application of PEG
to orthopaedic field is still restricted, this hydrate material is a
potential alternative biopolymers for orthopaedics surgery, taking
into account the unique characteristics.
