History Development of Hydrogels
Hydrogels are composed of hydrophilic polymers, whose three-dimensional network structure can not only absorb a large amount of water, but also be used to carry drugs. Hydrogels prepared with suitable materials have the characteristics of high biocompatibility, mechanical and viscoelastic control. Since the term was coined in the late 19th century, hydrogels have been widely used in drug ...

NovoSorb BTM: Application & Delamination
Most superficial wounds (ones involving the epidermis and sometimes the partial dermis) heal quickly, often without scarring, and typically covered with readily available wound dressings. However, when trauma occurs and large portions of the epidermis and dermis are destroyed, it may be necessary to put a structure in place to aid the body in generating new tissue. NovoSorb® BTM is a fully ...

Introduction of Chitosan as Nano-drug Delivery Carrier
Chitin is the second largest natural polymer after cellulose, and it exists widely in nature, such as shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, insects, and cell walls of fungi. Although chitin has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, its poor solubility limits its practicality in the field of biomedicine. The product of chitin deacetylation is chitosan. Chitosan is structurally ...
