Applications of certain traditional and new polymers, including bioabsorbable/ biodegradable ones, in the development of biomedical devices and controlled drug/bioactive-agent delivery have become a key catalyst in realizing recent developments in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical, and bioengineering research. Poly-Med commenced its R&D operation in Pendleton, South Carolina, in 1995 to propel the use of polymers into new and often novel pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. The basic tenets of Poly-Med's R&D strategy are focused on proprietary materials, novel processes, and advanced systems design. Poly-Med values its proprietary technology and explores vigorously any useful adjunct applications beyond those within the scope of its core mission.

Our Mission:
Poly-Med’s core mission is applying scientific and engineering principles toward developing proprietary polymers for specialty manufacturing of biomedical and pharmaceutical products and providing pertinent analytical testing and fiber spinning services.  Focus areas are absorbable polymers and fibrous constructs therefrom, controlled drug delivery systems, and analytical testing services.
