Description

Chitosan – Medical Grade is a highly purified biopolymer derived from chitin and engineered for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and advanced healthcare applications requiring strict material consistency and high biocompatibility. Produced under controlled processing conditions, this grade is designed to meet demanding performance requirements where purity, molecular stability, and predictable functionality are essential.

With a Degree of Deacetylation (DDA) of 95%, this material provides enhanced bioactivity, improved solubility in acidic environments, and strong interaction with biological surfaces. The controlled molecular weight range of 150–250 kDa ensures optimal film-forming capability, viscosity balance, and structural performance across medical and research applications.

Chitosan – Medical Grade exhibits a defined viscosity of approximately 100 mPa·s, allowing reliable formulation behavior in gels, coatings, membranes, and biomedical delivery systems. Its cationic nature supports adhesion, controlled interaction, and compatibility with biological environments, making it suitable for advanced medical technologies.

Manufactured with strict quality control and batch consistency, this material is intended for research, medical development, and specialized healthcare applications where high-quality chitosan is required.
