Abstract: A mouldable, biodegradable medical material, comprising an epsilon caprolactone homopolymer. The material is useful as an implant and in particular for filling irregularly shaped cavities in biological tissue in vivo. The epsilon caprolactone homopolymer can be produced by polymerizing epsilon caprolactone monomers in the presence of a titanium alkoxide catalyst.
