Abstract
Stable and durable polymeric microbubbles of a 1-10 μm size range are disclosed. The microbubbles are synthesized from the co-polymer poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), which provides a plurality of PLGA microbubbles presenting diverse cavitation activities. The PLGA microbubbles are particularly suitable for cavitation enhancement purposes and are applicable in various clinical procedures such as ablation or enhancement of uptake of chemical or biological therapy in cells and tissue.
