Veterinary Medicine
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.
Wound healing
Many animal studies have demonstrated the addition of Chitosan postoperatively, or into wounds, accelerates healing and recovery. Its use promotes inflammatory cell activity, blood vessel regeneration, and the formation of granulation tissues, all of which are critical to wound healing [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera].
Antimicrobial
The antimicrobial properties of Chitosan can be utilized in both fresh and infected wounds. Its use as an infusion, implant, or topical medication can act on bacterial membranes to kill bacteria [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera].
Dressings
Chitosan dressings have also been applied to animal wounds to utilize their bioactive properties and promote healthy local inflammatory responses [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera]. This helps speed up the rate of wound healing by increasing the structural support within the wound and promoting cellular repair activities.
Tissue Regeneration
Chitosan is also able to facilitate the regeneration of various bodily tissues like bone and cartilage. By providing cellular scaffolding support, the connective tissues can better replace, replicate, and restructure themselves into new tissues [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera].
Hemostasis
Chitosan also interacts with various components of animals’ clotting process to help control bleeding. The application of Chitosan granules provides an effective means of reducing the volume of blood loss and quicker hemostasis [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera]
Drug Delivery
Chitosan-based micro- and nano-carriers can also be applied to animals to assist with safe, effective, and targeted delivery of medication. This can be used in the delivery of enteral and mucosal medications or vaccines to ensure the drugs reach the right location for a stable absorption profile. This relies on its structure for chemical and mechanical protection, mucoadhesive properties to ensure prolonged absorption, and immunological influences to promote effective response [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera].
