Aim. To study in experimental conditions and conduct a comparative assessment of the terms of biodegradation of three different types of synthetic polyester matrices as promising carriers of limbal stem cells. Material and methods. We performed matrices from poly(lactide-glycolide) (PLG), poly(lactide-caprolactone) (PLC) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). On the basis of the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy (St. Petersburg) estimated the timing of the biodegradation of matrices from the PLG, PLC and PCL with a thickness of 5; 10 and 15 microns by binding in vitro to the ocular surface of laboratory animals. Results. During the study, the terms of biodegradation of matrices from PLG, PLC and PCL of various thickness were studied. The time of complete biodegradation of PCL matrices with a thickness of 5 μm was about 30 days, which is the most acceptable for the purpose of their transplantation to the eye surface. Conclusion. The obtained results indicate the possibility of using PLC as a material for the manufacture of matrix carriers with a thickness of 5 μm for the cultivation and transplantation of limbal stem cells. Keywords: poly (lactide-glycolide), poly (lactide-caprolactone), poly (ε-caprolactone), biodegradation, limbal stem cells.
