Medical Applications

Mykito Chitosan is the purest Non-Animal chitosan in the world. We produce Medical and Pharmaceutical Grade Chitosan. This chitosan does not have the betaglucins, heavy metals and other contaminants that are commonly found in chitosan. The Mykito technology is robust, repeatable and produces consistent results.

There will be entirely new applications developed with this chitosan. Here are the most popular medical applications:

Burn and Trauma Care

Chitosan dressings and gels can be used to treat burn injuries. They help in wound healing, reducing pain, and preventing infections.

Dental Applications

Chitosan's antimicrobial properties make it useful in oral hygiene products like toothpaste and mouthwash. It can also be incorporated into dental materials such as composites and cements.

Dermal Fillers and Implants

Chitosan-based dermal fillers can be used for aesthetic and reconstructive purposes, providing a biocompatible material for tissue augmentation.

Drug Delivery Systems

Chitosan can be used as a carrier for drug delivery systems in medical applications. It can be formulated into nanoparticles, microparticles, or hydrogels for controlled and targeted drug release.

Drug Eluting Stents

Chitosan coatings on stents can be used to deliver drugs to the surrounding tissue, preventing restenosis and promoting healing after angioplasty procedures.

Hemostatic Agents

Chitosan-based hemostatic agents can be used in surgical procedures to stop bleeding quickly and effectively.

Nasal Drug Delivery

Chitosan-based nasal sprays and formulations can enhance drug absorption through the nasal mucosa, providing a non-invasive route for drug administration.

Ophthalmic Applications

Chitosan can be used in the production of contact lenses and intraocular lenses due to its biocompatibility and non-toxic nature.

Orthopedic Implants and Devices

Chitosan coatings can be applied to orthopedic implants to improve their biocompatibility and reduce the risk of infections.

Regenerative Medicine

Chitosan can be used in various regenerative medicine applications, including cartilage repair, nerve regeneration, and bone regeneration.

Surgical Sutures and Staples

Chitosan can be used to coat or impregnate surgical sutures and staples to enhance their biocompatibility, reduce inflammation, and prevent infection.

Tissue Engineering

Chitosan scaffolds provide a 3D framework for cell growth and tissue regeneration. They can be used in the development of engineered tissues and organs for transplantation.

Veterinary Medicine

Chitosan can also find applications in veterinary medicine, particularly in wound care and surgical procedures for animals.

Wound Dressings

Chitosan's biocompatibility and hemostatic properties make it suitable for wound dressings. It can help control bleeding, promote wound healing, and prevent infections.
