Ophthalmic Applications
Mykito Chitosan is the purest Non-Animal chitosan in the world. 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.
Optic and Ophthalmic Applications
Chitosan-based hydrogels and contact lenses can overcome the short retention time and improve drug uptake. By harnessing its malleability and antimicrobial activity, it can be molded into films to be prepared as contact lenses that can also carry drugs. Medication can be loaded onto them and delivered reliably and effectively to the eyes without sacrificing comfort or raising infection risks [Ahmadi,Li,Jeencham,Zhao].
Drug Delivery
Chitosan nanoparticles can also effectively encapsulate and deliver drugs in the form of microparticles, nanoparticles, and hydrogels. By acting as high-capacity reservoirs with good adhesion to local tissues, sustained drug release can be achieved to optimize the biochemical and physiological environment for healing [Freedman]. Chitosan can be customized to provide sustained, controlled, and site-specific release of drugs for the eyes [Garg,Su].
