Who we are

GANARND is an organization which specializes in research and development of medical devices for the plastic surgery industry. The devices are biodegradable material based co-polymers that are well known as PLLA (Poly L-Lactide) and PCL (Poly ?-caprolactone)


What is biodegradable material

The term biodegradable is used to describe materials that decompose through the actions of bacteria, fungi, and other living organisms ? simply put it has the ability to break down or decompose back into the natural environment without causing harm
Examples of well known biodegradable materials used in medical industries are PLLA, PLGA, PGA, PDO and PCL


What is PLLA

Poly(L-lactide) is a biodegradable material with good bio-absorbability and bio-compatibility.
After degradation in the body, PLLA products are excreted by metabolism and thus has no harmful side effects to the human body. It is for these reasons that PLLA products are currently widely used in the field of medicine, such as for one-time infusion equipment, medical surgical suture, drug delivery carriers, tissue engineering scaffolds, bone anchors, injectable microcapsules, microspheres, implants, elastomer materials for organ support, etc.


Industry-Academic Cooperation

Sungkyunkwan University is one of the leading Korean universities with whom GANARND has a industry-academic cooperation with, specifically with the bio-compatible polymer department
By working with the university professors GANARND tries to maximize the potential of its products
